Notations on the court file jacket for February 21 reflect that a conference was held at the bench during which a briefing schedule on an unspecified motion to be filed by respondent was agreed to: March 6 for respondent to serve the motion in hand; March 27 for opposition; April 7 for reply and argument.

In addition to [*2]amplifying the facts and arguments in support of the relief stated in the original order to show cause the supplemental papers seek discovery.
