On August 15, 2022, counsel for petitioner filed a Motion for Document Subpoena Hearing. In the motion, counsel for petitioner asks the Court to enter an Order setting this motion for a remote hearing for the purpose of document subpoena enforcement.

It is ORDERED that petitioner's Motion for Document Subpoena Hearing filed August 15, 2022 is granted. It is further
