Wang from Duane L. Loft dated November 4, 2019. filed by Sirwan Saber Mustafa. Contra ry to Mustafa's argument, Judge Wang did not change the standard to an impossibility test.

The statement in the October Opinion that "Intervenors have not presented any evidence that service in the DIFC litigation is impossible" was to explain o n a motion for reconsideration that "Petitioner's delays in service [were] due to needing to work with various governmental authorities" and were not indicative that the case would not proceed.
