Re:
Your Honor:

Antoine Ross v. Captain Dion Willis, et al.,
16 Civ. 6704 (PAE) (KNF)

I am a Senior Counsel in the office of James E. Johnson, Corporation Counsel of
the City of New York, and attorney for Department of Correction Officers Sadoc Genoves and
Rochuard George and third-party defendant the City of New York (“Defendants”) in the abovereferenced action. I write to request an adjournment of the pre-motion conference currently
scheduled for November 13, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. This is Defendants’ first request for an
adjournment of the pre-motion conference. Counsel for Plaintiff and counsel for defendant Dion
Willis consent to this request.
Due to the City’s fiscal challenges engendered by the COVID-19 global
pandemic, I will be on mandatory furlough on November 13 and, therefore, am unable to appear
for the conference on that date. Should the Court grant the instant request, the parties are
available to attend a conference on November 16 (afternoon only), November 23, and November
24 (morning only). Defendants thank the Court for its attention to this request.
Sincerely,

All Counsel (VIA ECF)
