Windsor v. United States, 10 Civ. 8435 (BSJ) (JCF)
Dear Judge Jones:
We respectfully write to inform the Court that plaintiffEdie Windsor
suffered a heart attack yesterday and was admitted to the cardiac unit at Mount Sinai
Hospital.
As the Court is aware, Ms. Windsor is 82 years old and has a pre-existing,
serious heart condition. Fortunately, Ms. Windsor is stable and is in good spirits.
However, because of the risks attendant to the period immediately following a heart
attack, it is our understanding that Edie will remain in the hospital while the cardiologists
monitor her condition.

The Honorable Barbara S. Jones

We write to advise Your Honor of this development in light of our
previous communications with the Court regarding Ms. Windsor's health.
Respectfully submitted,

~a-~
