MEMO ENDORSED

K.A., et al. v. City of New York, et al., 16-cv-04936 (LTS) (JW) (SDNY)

Your Honor:
I am a Senior Counsel in the Office of Hon. Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix, the Corporation
Counsel of the City of New York, assigned to the defense of the above-referenced action on behalf
of defendant City of New York (the “City”). I am writing to respectfully request, with the consent
of plaintiffs, that the Court extend the time for the City to move to dismiss the Second Amended
Complaint, from May 23, 2022 to May 30, 2022 ((with the briefing schedule as set forth below).
The Corizon defendants join in this request so that all defendants may file their papers at
the same time. Plaintiffs’ counsel consents to this request. This is the third application for an
extension of this deadline; the prior applications were granted upon consent.
The request is made because, as noted in the Corizon defendants’ letter of May 6 2022
(ECF No. 135), I came down with Covid-19 after returning from a trip to Poland, and was not
working due to illness during the week of May 2, 2022. I resumed working, in part, on May 9 and
May 10, but on May 11 symptoms resumed. On May 12, 2022, I was medically diagnosed with a
relapse and required to take further leave. I returned to work, in part and remotely, on May 16.
As a result of the unexpected extension of my illness, further time is required for the City to
complete its submission on the motion to dismiss.
The proposed briefing schedule is:
Motion to Dismiss Due: May 30, 2022
Opposition to Motion Due June 29, 2022
Reply to Opposition Due July 14, 2022 (one day added for July 4 holiday)

Case 1:16-cv-04936-LTS-JW Document 138 Filed 05/18/22 Page 2 of 2

We thank the Court for its consideration of this matter.
Respectfully submitted,

Alan H. Scheiner
