Mary Tardifv. City ofNew York, et al., 13-cv-4056 (KMW)(KNF)

Dear Judge Wood:
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(l)(A) and Local Civil Rule 54.l (a), Plaintiff in the abovecaptioned matter moves this Com1 for an extension of time in which to file her Notice of Taxation
of Costs until 30 days after this Com1' s decision on Defendant's post-ti"ial motions.
On July 12, 2022, this Com1 entered judgment for Plaintiff in the sum of$431, 250. (ECF
No. 550). Under Local Civil Rule 54. l(a), Plaintiff is required to file with the Clerk of this Com1
a Notice of Taxation of Costs by August 11 , 2022, t:hii1y days after the ently of the judgment.
Defendant, however, has informed this Court that it intends to file post-trial motions, and
this Court has set a briefing schedule for those motions, requiring Defendant to file its
memorandum for those motions by August 15, 2022. (ECF No. 572). Pursuant to Local Rule
54. l (a), during the pendency of those motions, the Clerk will not tax costs. And after the decision
on those motions, any party may file a new Notice of Taxation of Costs.
Since the Clerk cannot tax costs during the pendency of Defendant's post-ti·ial motions,
and since a new Notice of Taxation of Costs may be required after the decision on the decision on
these motions, Plaintiff moves this Com1 to extend the time in which she is required to file her
Notice of Taxation of Costs until 30 days after this Com1' s decision on Defendant's post-trial
motions. Good cause exists for this extension because no purpose will be se1ved by the filing of
the Notice of Taxation of Costs before the decision on the motions, and Defendant will suffer no
prejudice if the time for filing the notice is extended.
Plaintiff has requested Defendant's consent to this motion on several occasions-July 27,
2022, August 1, 2022, August 3, 2022, and August 4, 2022 (by phone and email)-but Defendant
has not responded.

Plaintiff therefore requests that this Comi extends the time for Plaintiff to file her Notice
of Taxation of Costs until 30 days after this Comi's decision on Defendant's post-trial motions.
