The motion, filed on October 1, seeks the same types of communications that the Southern District of New York had previously granted against the SEC. Grewal emphasized that "basic due process requires" access to these documents. Coinbase is willing to cover the costs associated with the search to obtain these communications, aiming to strengthen its defense against the SEC's enforcement actions and underscore the need for transparency and due process.
