Srisuwan Tangtiwatanapaibul, et. al. v. Tom & Toon, Inc., et.al
US Dist. Ct., SDNY, Docket No. 17 Civ. 816 (LGS)(KHP)

06/10/2021

Dear Magistrate Judge Parker:
I am writing in regard to this matter to request an adjournment of the pre-trial conference
scheduled by the Court for June 11, 2021 at 10:00 am.
As your Honor knows, my clients and Plaintiffs’ counsel previously entered into a settlement
of this matter to pay plaintiffs the sum of $72,000, and thereafter made several payments toward this
settlement, in the combined amount of $2,000, leaving a balance due of $70,000. The revised
settlement agreement that my clients signed committed them to paying the remaining balance within
23 months of October 8, 2020. It is noted that Plaintiffs counsel accepted my clients’ $2,000 after
my clients signed the revised agreement, which could be considered consideration for the revised
payment schedule.
In any event, my clients would prefer if in any way to adhere to the previously agreed upon
settlement for the balance of $70,000, if at all possible, rather than incur the greater expense and
uncertainty of going to trial. I have contacted Plaintiffs’ counsel twice by e-mail (on April 28th and
May 18th) to try to discuss resolution, but Plaintiffs’ counsel did not respond to either e-mail.
My client requests a thirty (30) day delay in the pre-trial conference to further pursue efforts
to come up with the balance of the settlement in a timely manner, so as hopefully avoid a trial.
Respectfully,

Morton S. Minsley
