INFORMATIVE MOTION REGARDING STATUS OF BRIEFING AND REQUEST 
FOR ADJUDICATION OF MOTION TO ENFORCE ORDER AT ECF NO. 224 
  
COMES NOW Plaintiff Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “Reserve Bank”) by 
and through undersigned counsel, and respectfully informs this Court as follows:  
1. 
On May 5, 2025, the Reserve Bank filed its Motion to Enforce Order at ECF No. 
224 Granting Plaintiff-Intervenor Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco’s Motion to Compel 
Bentworth’s QuickBooks Accounting Data (“Motion to Enforce”).  See ECF No. 238.  On that 
same day, the Court issued an order holding in abeyance the Motion to Enforce and directing 
Defendants to file a response on or before May 19, 2025.  See ECF No. 239.  On May 19, 2025, 
Defendants filed their Joint Opposition to Plaintiff-Intervenor Federal Reserve Bank of San 
Francisco’s Motion to Enforce Order at ECF No. 224 (“Opposition”).  See ECF No. 242.  
2. 
After reviewing the Opposition and noting that it does not alter the Reserve Bank’s 
position as set forth in the Motion to Enforce, the Reserve Bank informs the Court that it will not 
seek leave to file a reply.  Accordingly, the Reserve Bank respectfully submits that the Motion to 
Enforce is now fully briefed and ripe for adjudication by this Court.  The Reserve Bank further

notes that resolution of the Motion to Enforce is critical to the continued development of the case, 
as access to the QuickBooks data is likely to identify counterparties and transactions that may 
prompt additional discovery requests or follow-up inquiries.  Thus, absent the relief requested in 
the Motion to Enforce, there is a substantial risk that the current deadlines for the completion of 
document discovery (June 9, 2025) and depositions (August 9, 2025) will be jeopardized for all 
the reasons set forth in the Motion to Enforce. 
3. 
Based on the foregoing, the Reserve Bank respectfully requests that the Court take 
notice of the above and deem the Motion to Enforce, along with all related filings, fully briefed 
and ready for adjudication. 
Respectfully submitted in San Juan, Puerto Rico on May 21, 2025.
