Re:

Range, Jr. v. 230 West 41st Street LLC et al.,
Civil Action No.: 1:17-cv-00149-LAP

Dear Judge Preska:
This firm represents Defendant 230 West 41st Street LLC (“230 West”) in the
above referenced matter. We write, jointly with Plaintiff King Range, Jr. (“Plaintiff”) and
Defendant Hat Trick Pizza, Inc. (“Hat Trick”) (collectively, the “Parties”) to respectfully
request a 30-day extension of the February 28, 2022 deadline to re-open the abovereferenced matter, up to and including March 30, 2022. This is the second application for
an extension of this deadline.
By way of background, Plaintiff corresponded with the Court by letter dated
November 24, 2021 to advise that the Parties had reached an agreement in principle to
settle this action following a mediation on November 22, 2021, and to request 60 days to
consummate the settlement (ECF. No. 129), which the Court granted on November 29,
2021 (ECF No. 130). Plaintiff corresponded again with the Court, with consent of the 230
West and Hat Trick, to request an additional 30-day extension of this deadline on January
26, 2022 (ECF No. 133), which the Court granted on January 27, 2022 (ECF No. 134).
Since the Parties last reported to the Court, they have exchanged a number of
proposals on one remaining substantive issue required to finalize the settlement
agreement. They have been negotiating in good faith and not to cause undue delay. The
Parties respectfully request this second extension to allow them to hopefully finalize the
terms of the settlement so that a restoration of this action on the Court’s calendar will be
unnecessary.
We thank the Court for its time and attention to this matter, and for its consideration
of this joint application.
SO ORDERED.
Dated:
February 28, 2022
New York, New York
