Zohar CDO 2003-I Ltd. v. Patriarch Partners, LLC, No. 17-cv-00307 (S.D.N.Y.)

Dear Judge Castel:
I write as counsel for Defendants/Counterclaimants/Third-Party Plaintiffs (collectively,
“Patriarch”) in this action to respectfully request a one-week extension of Patriarch’s October
15, 2021, deadline to file a motion for leave to amend its Third-Party Complaint (together with
a proposed amended pleading), set by the Court’s October 7, 2021 Order. See Dkt. 217.
Patriarch is grateful for the opportunity to file a motion for leave. However, in light of the
upcoming federal holiday and work commitments in other cases on the part of Patriarch’s
counsel, Patriarch respectfully requests that the deadline for such a motion be extended until
October 22, 2021. U.S. Bank does not oppose the request, and the remaining Third-Party and
Counterclaim Defendants have informed us that they take no position on the request.
In addition, I write to inform the Court that Patriarch and U.S. Bank respectfully submit that it
would be most efficient if U.S. Bank’s deadline to file an Answer with respect to the claims
that remain against it be held in abeyance until after any motion for leave to amend is decided.
Accordingly, U.S. Bank and Patriarch jointly request that U.S. Bank’s answer deadline be
adjourned until 21 days after the motion for leave is resolved, or if no such motion is filed, 21
days after the deadline to file has passed.
Respectfully,
/s/ Akiva Shapiro
