Discovery (the “Motion”) (Dkt. No. 30), filed by Scott M. Seidel, Trustee (the “Trustee”), the

trustee of Goodman Networks, Inc. (the “Debtor”), the debtor in the above styled and numbered 

chapter 7 bankruptcy case (the “Bankruptcy Case”) and the plaintiff in the above styled and 

numbered adversary proceeding (the “Adversary Proceeding”).

Having considered the Motion and the arguments of counsel, and finding sufficient cause 

for the entry of this Order, it is hereby: 

ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED as set forth herein; it is further

ORDERED that an in-person hearing shall be held before this Court on May 14, 2024 at 

9:30 a.m. on the Trustee’s Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, Expedited 

Discovery, and Preliminary Injunction, and Brief In Support Thereof (the “Underlying Motion”)

(Dkt. No. 29); it is further

ORDERED that any responses to the Underlying Motion shall be filed by no later than

May 10, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time; it is further

ORDERED that, if any response contains information deemed “confidential” pursuant to 

an existing protective order, any party to the Underlying Motion may file any evidence or 

document in support thereof or in opposition thereto under seal, including with respect to any 

preliminary injunction hearing that may be held on the Underlying Motion, by delivering the same 

to the Clerk of the Court with a copy of this Order in an envelope with the style of this Adversary 

Proceeding, and upon such other procedures as the Clerk directs; it is further 

ORDERED that, in addition to the above procedure, a redacted version of any pleading

ORDERED that the foregoing authorization to file documents or pleadings under “seal” 

will not proscribe any argument being made as to whether such documents shall remain sealed for 

purposes of any hearing; it is further 

ORDERED that UMB Bank, N.A., in its capacity as the Indenture Trustee for the Goodman 

Networks Incorporated 8% Senior Secured Notes Due 2022, shall, if it intends to make a 

distribution to the holders of said notes prior to May 15, 2024, file on the docket of the Bankruptcy 

Case a notice of its intention to do so and the date that it intends to do so, whereafter the Trustee 

is directed to inform the Court of the same; it is further 

ORDERED that, in such event, given that the same could arguably adversely affect 

property of the estate, the Court reserves the right to schedule a hearing on whether the Indenture 

Trustee shall be authorized to proceed with its intended distribution within twenty-four (24) hours

of such notice. Counsel to the Indenture Trustee is expected to make himself available at such 

hearing; and it is further

ORDERED that, although informal discovery is not proscribed, the Court will address 

further formal discovery at the hearing on May 14, 2024 and expects the parties to confer in good 

faith with regard to the Underlying Motion in preparation for the hearing.
