Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED:
1. By July 21, 2022, defendants shall respond to the receiver's motion. Defendants' response shall include a proposed order containing the relief defendants believe appropriate. Defendants' response shall also include an explanation as to why defense counsel should not be sanctioned for failure to comply with the Court's orders .
2. By July 28, 2022, the receiver shall file a reply. The receiver's reply shall include a proposed order containing the specific relief requested.
SO ORDERED.
