Julian et al. v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., No. 17-cv-00957 (AJN)(BCM)

Your Honor:
We represent Defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. (“Defendant”) in the above-referenced
action. Pursuant to Rules 1(b) and 2(a) of Your Honor’s Individual Practices, Defendant writes this
letter-motion to respectfully request a two-week extension of time to answer, move, or otherwise
respond to Plaintiffs’ Third Amended Complaint. Defendant seeks this extension because defense
counsel have been inundated with COVID-19 related issues over the past few weeks and require
additional time to provide a fulsome response to Plaintiffs’ new allegations in the Third Amended
Complaint. Defendant’s responsive pleading is currently due on April 3, 2020 per the parties’
stipulation (ECF 118), and Defendant respectfully requests that the Court extend its time to
respond to April 17, 2020. This is Defendant’s first request for an extension of time to the
stipulated April 3, 2020 deadline to respond to the Third Amended Complaint. Counsel for
Plaintiffs consents to this request. If granted, this request for an extension of time will not affect
any other scheduled dates in this matter.
Thank You for your consideration.
Sincerely,

/s/ Melissa C. Rodriguez
