In re Application of MAJED AMIR AL-ATTABI, For an pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1782 to take discovery for use in foreign proceedings pending in the Republic of Lebanon.
ORDER
ROBERT W. LEHRBURGER, United States Magistrate Judge.
As discussed during the conference held on March 8, 2022, Bank Audi's application to renew its motion to quash (Dkt. 35-36) is denied for the reasons stated at the conference. The order issued by the Court on January 26, 2022 (Dkt. 34) was a final order to which Bank Audi did not object or file an appeal. Bank Audi does not meet the requirements for Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b). The purported changed circumstance (withdrawal of a defense) was controlled and created by Bank Audi. Moreover, the material sought remains of use in the foreign proceeding for the reasons set forth in Petitioner's letter dated March 2, 2022. (Dkt. 38). The Court also denies Bank Audi's request to stay pending appeal for the reasons stated at the conference.
SO ORDERED.
