IN RE PETITION OF MARGINALISED AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS, Petitioner, v. BSG RESOURCES LIMITED, ALVAREZ & MARSHAL HOLDINGS, LLC, and CLEARY GOTTLIEB STEEN & HAMILTON LLP, Respondents.
ORDER
RONNIE ABRAMS, United States District Judge
On August 19, 2021, Petitioner filed an application to obtain discovery from Respondents for use in a foreign proceeding. Dkt. 1. On October 12, 2021, the Court stayed this action at the request of the parties to allow them to confer about the confidentiality of the documents produced. Dkt. 12. In an order dated April 11, 2022, the Court directed the parties to file a joint letter due April 18, 2022 indicating whether this matter could be closed. Dkt. 13. At the request of the parties, the Court later extended the time to file the joint status letter to June 15, 2022, Dkt. 15, again to August 16, 2022, Dkt. 17, and again to October 14, 2022, Dkt. 19. The parties now request that the Court once again delay closing the case until decisions have been reached related to document confidentiality. Given that the Court has already allowed the parties a year to reach agreement on this issue, the parties are directed to file a letter no later than October 21, 2022, explaining why they remain unable to do so on a more expedited basis.
SO ORDERED.
