Re: Schoolcraft v. City of New York, et al., 10-cv-6005 (RWS)
Your Honor:
I am a Senior Counsel in the office of Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel of the
City of New York, assigned to represent the City Defendants in the above-referenced matter.
We write to respectfully request an adjournment of the motion in limine filing deadline from
September 17, 2015 to September 21, 2015. The deadline was previously adjourned in
connection with adjournments of the deadline for the JPTO, most recently by operation of the
Court’s order of September 10, 2015 (Docket No. 487). The reason for this request is that lead
counsel for the City defendants, Alan Scheiner, suffered a relapse of a respiratory infection late
Thursday last week, resulting in a serious bronchitis with fever. He has been out of the office
and unable to work full-time as a result. We hope that he will be able to return to work soon.
All parties consent to this request.
We thank the Court for its consideration in this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/Cheryl Shammas
Cheryl Shammas
Senior Counsel
