ORDER

DENISE COTE, District Judge:
In a letter of February 12, 2021, the plaintiffs move to
compel non-party witness Michael Sanford to produce his
communications with Edward Feldman from October 22, 2015 to July
11, 2017.

In a letter of January 21, Feldman stated that he

only represented Pursuit and at no point represented Sanford
personally.

Pursuit has filed for bankruptcy, and its Trustee

has waived “any attorney-client privilege on behalf of [Pursuit]
and will not object to the Knopfs obtaining any documents or
testimony in discovery which may otherwise be subject to an
attorney-client privilege held by [Pursuit].”

It is hereby

Case 1:17-cv-05833-DLC Document 361 Filed 02/16/21 Page 2 of 2

ORDERED that Sanford shall respond to the plaintiffs’
February 12 letter by February 18, 2021 at noon.

Sanford shall

address in his response whether Feldman ever represented him
personally and, if so, the dates of the alleged representation.

New York, New York
