THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte.
On May 1, 2024, the Court entered an Order directing the Defendant,
its U.S. counsel, and its Dutch counsel, Alfred Meijboom, to appear before
the Court on May 15, 2024 and show cause why the Court should not hold
the Defendant and its counsel in contempt for failing to comply with the
Court’s June 23, 2023 Order. [Doc. 358]. Upon motion of the Defendant
[Doc. 363], the Court continued the show cause hearing to its present setting
on June 5, 2024. [Text-Only Order entered May 10, 2024].
On May 20, 2024, the undersigned’s chambers received an email from
Mr. Meijboom indicating that he intended to appear for the show cause
hearing, but that he had a scheduling conflict on June 5, 2024 with a

previously scheduled hearing in a Dutch court. Mr. Meijboom therefore
requested that the Court continue the show cause hearing to a later date, or
in the alternative, allow him to participate remotely in the hearing. [See
5/20/24 email, attached hereto as Exhibit 1].
By this request, Mr. Meijboom seeks affirmative relief from the Court.
The Court therefore considers Mr. Meijboom’s request as a submission to
the jurisdiction of this Court. For the reasons stated, the Court will grant Mr.
Meijboom’s request and will continue the show cause hearing until a later
date in August 2024. The parties will be notified at a later time of the date of
the rescheduled hearing.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the show cause hearing currently
scheduled for June 5, 2024, is hereby CONTINUED and will be rescheduled
at a later date.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Signed: May 28, 2024
