Re:

Ortiz v. City of New York, et al.
15-CV-2206 (DLC)

Dear Judge Cote:
I am one of the attorneys for plaintiff, Hector Garcia Ortiz. I write with the knowledge
and consent of Assistant Corporation Counsel Melissa Wachs to request that the Court grant him
until April 16, 2021, to file any post-appeal application for attorneys’ fees. The parties have
agreed in principle to the terms of settlement, but negotiating the terms of settlement has been
more complicated than usual because of the number of attorneys who have represented Mr.
Garcia Ortiz. However, I have just received a revised agreement from Ms. Wachs. But because I
am preparing for trial before Magistrate Judge McCarthy (Thomas v. McManus, et ano., 17 CV
4025 (JCM)), and we have motion papers due today, there is a likelihood I will not get to review
Ms. Wachs proposed changes before day’s end. Thus, primarily, if not exclusively to protect Mr.
Garcia’s interests, and those of his counsel, Mr. Garcia Ortiz requests this limited and, in all
likelihood, last extension. As noted, Ms. Wachs consents to this request.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully submitted,

Scott A. Korenbaum
