UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
In re
APPLICATION OF MAKHPAL
KARIBZHANOVA FOR JUDICIAL
ASSISTANCE PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C.
SECTION 1782,

21 Misc. 442 (KPF)
ORDER

MAKHPAL KARIBZHANOVA,
Applicant.
KATHERINE POLK FAILLA, District Judge:
On August 11, 2021, Applicant Makhpal Karibzhanova filed a motion to
seal certain exhibits and redact certain nonpublic information in proposed
intervenor Aidan Karibzhanov’s filings in support of his motion to intervene.
(Dkt. #14-16). Mr. Karibzhanov filed a response in opposition on August 13,
2021. (Dkt. #18).
The Court is disappointed that both Ms. Karibzhanova’s initial filings in
this matter and Mr. Karibzhanov’s motion to intervene contain unnecessary
attacks on each other and sensitive information concerning their daughter.
The Court does not condone this behavior and advises the parties to refrain
from including such extraneous and inflammatory information in future
submissions. However, in this instance it was Ms. Karibzhanova’s own
allegations against Mr. Karibzhanov that opened the door to the Court receiving
information regarding the character and conduct of both Mr. Karibzhanov and
Ms. Karibzhanova. Furthermore, the Court agrees with Mr. Karibzhanov that
he is not legally barred from introducing the relevant state court filings in this
