UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO. 11-61338-CIV-COHN
In Re: ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT ADLER, P.A.,
Debtor.
________________________________________/
ORDER DIRECTING EXPEDITED RESPONSES TO TRUSTEE’S MOTION TO
AMEND WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AD TESTIFICANDUM
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon the Trustee’s Expedited Motion to
Amend Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Testificandum [DE 53].
The Trustee seeks either a continuance of Mr. Rothstein’s deposition or a
bifurcation of the deposition so that a second deposition can be held to include new
adversary defendants that were recently served by the Trustee. Given the many
competing interests involved in such a decision, the Court requires certain parties to
respond to this motion, and encourages all interested parties to respond.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1.

The Trustee shall serve a copy of this Order on all known counsel for any
adversary defendants;

2.

Counsel for Mr. Rothstein shall respond to the Trustee’s Expedited Motion to
Amend Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Testificandum [DE 53] by November 21,
2011, by updating the Court on his availability for the December 12
deposition, and by stating his client’s position on whether the deposition can
go forward without Mr. Nurik’s presence, either with no counsel or substitute
counsel;

3.

The Government shall respond to the Trustee’s Expedited Motion to Amend

Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Testificandum [DE 53] by November 22, 2011,
including stating its position on the Trustee’s two alternative positions;
4.

Any other interested party may file a response to the Trustee’s Motion by
November 22, 2011.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Fort Lauderdale, Broward County,

Florida, on this 14th day of November, 2011.

Copies provided to:
Counsel of record on CM/ECF
