Defense Letter Motion · Compel Compliance with Rule 17(c) Subpoena
This one-page letter, dated April 2, 2026 from Melinda Sarafa of Sarafa Zellan PLLC, addressed to Judge Analisa Torres, asks the Court to enter an order compelling Mr. Guo's former attorney to comply fully with the Rule 17(c) subpoena previously authorized by the Court on March 23, 2026 (ECF No. 823) in United States v. Ho Wan Kwok, et al., 23-CR-118 (AT).
Asserted Status of Production
The letter reports that the defense has received "a small number of responsive documents" from the former attorney, but does not consider the limited production to constitute full compliance with the subpoena.
Sealed Submission Accompanying This Letter
Due to the impracticability of setting forth the facts in support of this motion without disclosing the identity of the subpoenaed party — even with redactions — the defense has submitted a detailed letter motion with exhibits to the Court and to the Government under seal. The defense offers that, should the Court determine the complete motion and exhibits should be filed on the docket, the defense will comply with such an order.
Requested Deadlines
The defense notes it has endeavored to avoid disruption of the April 27, 2026 sentencing date, and requests that the Court order:
- Full compliance with the subpoena no later than April 10, 2026;
- Permission for Mr. Guo to supplement his sentencing submission with the additional materials until April 17, 2026.
