Re: Marcelino Castro v. Janet Smith and Octavian Duggins,
16-CV-08147 (JGLC) (GWG)

I am an Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of the Corporation Counsel of
the City of New York assigned to the defense of the above-referenced matter. The parties
respectfully and jointly submit this request seeking (1) an extension of until October 13, 2023 for
the parties to submit their pretrial filings with a similar extension until October 20, 2023 for the
parties to submit their opposition and (2) to respectfully request that Your Honor extend the
deadline for the parties to submit demonstrative exhibits until October 30, 2023. See Civil Docket
Entry No. 138. Previously, the parties requested, in the event the trial was adjourned from October
10, 2023, to extend the deadline to October 6, 2023 for the parties to submit their pretrial filings
with a similar extension until October 13, 2023 for the parties to submit their opposition. See Civil
Docket Entry No. 137.
The parties have conferred preliminarily regarding motions in limine. However,
the adjournment is needed so the parties may further confer, exchange drafts of pretrial
submissions, and finalize those drafts. The parties believe they may be able to come to agreements
that would lessen the burden on the Court. This brief extension will not delay this matter as the
trial has been adjourned to November 13, 2023.
As such, the parties respectfully and jointly submit this request seeking (1) an
extension of until October 13, 2023 for the parties to submit their pretrial filings with a similar
extension until October 20, 2023 for the parties to submit their opposition and (2) to respectfully
request that Your Honor extend the deadline for the parties to submit demonstrative exhibits until
October 30, 2023
The parties thank Your Honor for your time and consideration herein.
