Re:

Jermaine Dunham v. City of New York, et al.,
11 Civ. 1223 (ALC) (SLC)

Your Honor:
I am a Senior Counsel in the New York City Law Department assigned to the
defense of the City of New York, Philip Lobello and Lamar Oliver in the above referenced
matter. In that capacity I write to respectfully request a one-week adjournment of the January 8,
2020 deadline for the parties to meet and confer and file a joint letter with the Court stating any
remaining issues still in dispute. In addition, I also write to respectfully request an adjournment
of the January 10, 2020 In-Person Conference to a date convenient to the Court following the
filing of the joint letter. Plaintiff’s counsel, Maxwell Brown, Esq., consents to these requests.
This is defendants’ first request to adjourn the filing date of the joint letter and to adjourn the Inperson conference.
At the outset, I sincerely apologize for this late request. I received plaintiff’s
updated discovery demands in the afternoon on Friday, January 3, 2020 and it was the parties’
intention to have a meet and confer early this week and file a joint letter in accordance with Your
Honor’s December 17, 2019 Order. However, I became extremely ill over the weekend and have
been home with the flu this entire week. Due to my illness, we have been unable to have our
meet and confer and thus, are unable to file a joint letter. Because the parties will not be able to
confer and file their letter, I am also requesting the Court to adjourn the In-Person conference
currently scheduled for January 10, 2020 at 2:30 p.m., until after the parties have completed their
meet and confer and filed their joint letter apprising the Court of any remaining issues in
dispute.1
1

For the convenience of the Court, the parties have determined that they are all available to
appear for an In-person conference at any time on January 16th, 17th or 24th.

It is for these foregoing reasons, defendants respectfully request the Court to
adjourn the deadline for the parties to meet and confer and file a joint letter from January 8, 2020
until January 15, 2020 and to adjourn the January 10, 2020, In-person conference to a later date
convenient with the Court.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/
Joseph Zangrilli
Senior Counsel
