OPINION & ORDER. The Court DENIES Bullock's request, and reaffirms its prior decision that Gorsoan's discovery requests "relating to 17 alleged assets and six banks are "for use" in a foreign proceeding. (Doc. No. 101 at 2. ) At this point, because document production is now complete and Gorsoan has withdrawn its request to depose Bullock (Doc. No. 103 at 2), there are no remaining issues outstanding. Accordingly, the Court respectfully directs the Clerk of Court to close this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan, Sitting by Designation on 2/22/21) (yv)

ORDER. In light of the information provided in Bullock's letter and the exhibits attached thereto, the parties are no longer required to submit a joint status update by January 22, 2021. Instead, Gorsoan shall file a response to Bullock' s letter by January 18, 2021. Among other things, Gorsoan's response should apprise the Court of Gorsoan's position on whether the Swiss documents fall within the scope of discovery in this action. The Court will then endeavor to resolve the parties' disputes in short order. If the Court concludes that Bullock has indeed satisfied her production obligations, the parties should be prepared to move forward with Bullock's deposition as soon as the week of January 25, 2021. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan, Sitting by Designation on 1/14/21) (yv)
