Re:

Chen v. Hunan Manor Enterprise, Inc.., 17-cv-00802(GBD) (GWG)

Dear Judge Gold,
We are counsel to Defendants Hunan Manor LLC, Hunan House Inc., A Taste of Mao,
Inc., Jingchao Li, Zhida Li, and Zhenqi Xiao in this action. I write jointly with the other
Defendants’ attorneys and with the consent of Plaintiffs’ attorney to respectfully request that the
Court extend the deadline to file the pretrial materials required by sections VI.A and VI.B of Judge
Daniels' Individual Practices.
Per the Court’s order dated August 25, 2020, the deadline to submit those pretrial materials
is September 16, 2020. (Dkt. No. 212) Subsequent to that order, on September 9, 2020 1 Plaintiffs
filed a motion for class certification. Because the outcome of that motion will directly impact the
scope of trial and the pretrial materials, we respectfully request an extension of the time to submit
those pretrial materials. We propose that a new deadline be scheduled after decision on the class
certification motion.
This is the first request for an extension of the deadline to submit the pretrial materials.
We thank the Court for its attention to this matter.

We note that the Plaintiffs filed their motion one day after the Court-ordered deadline to do so. (See Dkt. No. 214).
Defendants reserve all rights concerning the untimeliness of Plaintiffs’ motion.
