Re:

Alicea v. City of New York, et al., No. 16-cv-07347-LAP: Request to
Extend Joint Pre-Trial Motion Deadline

Dear Judge Preska:
We are pro bono counsel for plaintiff in the above-captioned action, Dave Alicea, who is
incarcerated at Woodbourne Correctional Facility, and we respectfully submit this joint letter with
counsel for Defendants. On September 24, 2021, at the request of the parties, the Court entered an
order (the “Order”) setting a deadline of November 23, 2021 for the parties to file a joint pre-trial
order. The parties hereby respectfully request that the Court extend the deadline to file a joint pretrial order to February 24, 2022. The parties have not made any previous request to extend the
deadline set forth in the Order.
The grounds for this request are that counsel for plaintiff has experienced difficulty conferring with
Mr. Alicea following his transfer to Woodbourne Correctional Facility, and principal counsel for
Defendants, Brachah Goykadosh, will be leaving the Law Department for a clerkship that starts in February
2022 and Defendants have therefore requested additional time for a new assigned attorney to become
acquainted with this case.
Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court extend the deadline to submit a joint
pretrial order to February 24, 2022.
The parties are available at the Court’s convenience should the Court have any questions.
SO ORDERED.
Dated:
