Bryan,

When we last talked on January 26, 2023 you indicated that you were going to discuss with your clients the collection of their ESI and the running of our proposed search terms. You also indicated that you would run to ground (1) records of incoming donations to either ROLF or ROLS from the Debtor, his family, associated entities, or associated individuals and (2) records of outgoing expenses of ROLF and ROLS to the Debtor, his family, associated entities, or associated individuals. Finally, you indicated that you would produce the 2021 tax returns for both ROLF and ROLS.

We have not heard from you since our last discussion, and we have received no further production of documents. The Trustee has been working in good faith with your clients, but the time for production of these documents has long passed. We are requesting that Rule of Law Society and Rule of Law Foundation complete its production of documents (including privilege log(s)) on or before Monday, April 10, 2023. If for any reason this deadline cannot be met, please reach out immediately to discuss. Otherwise, we will seek the assistance of the Court to help expedite the production of documents.

Separately, can you please state your clients' position on the production of their bank records? See Request for Production 17. If your clients are willing to produce these documents pursuant to the document requests, please include these records in the production on or before April 10. If your clients are not willing to produce them, please let us know so we can seek assistance of the Court.

Thank you,

Jon
