Order · Defendant's Rule 17 Subpoena Application (Fox Hunt)
This eight-page order, signed by United States District Judge Analisa Torres, addresses Defendant Ho Wan Kwok's ex parte motion (Def. Mem., ECF No. 296; Def. Mot., ECF No. 295) for an order directing the early return of a subpoena to USAO-EDNY related to the Chinese Communist Party's "Operation Fox Hunt" in United States v. Ho Wan Kwok, 23 Cr. 118-1 (AT).
Mr. Kwok's Description of Operation Fox Hunt
Kwok describes Operation Fox Hunt as a CCP-directed "campaign of intimidation and harassment against political dissidents." The defense argues that records held by USAO-EDNY (the prosecutor's office that handled the related Bai case) are material to his defense.
Court's Analysis
The order proceeds under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17 — analyzing whether the subpoena meets the Nixon standard of relevance, admissibility, and specificity. The eight-page order develops the analysis at length.
