(VM) (KHP)

Dear Judge Parker:
I write in regard to the above-referenced case, which is scheduled for argument on the
motion to transfer venue (Dkt. No. 249) filed by the Litigation Trustee for Zohar Litigation TrustA (the “Litigation Trustee”) on Thursday, January 26, at 10 a.m.
I have been preparing to argue the Litigation Trustee’s transfer motion on behalf of the
Litigation Trustee but was called in for jury duty in New York State court this morning. While I
requested to postpone or be excused in light of Thursday’s argument (having already utilized my
one free option to postpone), I was informed that I qualified for neither postponement nor excusal
based on scheduled court appearances and should instead seek to reschedule those appearances. I
am presently scheduled to return to state court on Wednesday morning to begin voir dire, and may
or may not be empaneled on a jury at that time.
I contacted counsel for PPAS, who indicated a preference to seek an adjournment of
Thursday’s argument, rather than waiting until Wednesday to see whether or not I will have a
conflict. Assuming that is in accord with the Court’s preferences, we respectfully request an
adjournment of Thursday’s argument and conference until the week of February 7, or as soon
thereafter as is convenient for the Court’s schedule.
There have not been any prior requests to adjourn this appearance.
Respectfully submitted,

Ellison Ward Merkel
