Re:

Ortiz v. Corrections Officer S. Holliday, et al

17-cv-3620

Your Honor:
This is a joint letter seeking an extension to file a joint letter informing the Court which witnesses
will be called at the continuation of the Evidentiary Hearing. The letter was due today, however, the
parties have not been able to meet an confer physically to review a photograph of a potential witness. We
initially had planned to meet last Wednesday, but out of an abundance of caution from the current health
environment we decided against the meeting.
We are now requesting a 45 day extension to April 30, 2020 to file said letter due to the recent
National, State and City health emergency. Defendants consent to this request.

Respectfully submitted,
/s/
Paul Hale, Esq.
Attorney for Plaintiff
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the deadline for the parties to submit a
joint letter identifying the Corrections Officers Plaintiff intends
to call and setting forth any disagreements as to whether Plaintiff
has a good faith basis to believe that the proposed witnesses will
have relevant testimony justifying their appearance is adjourned
until April 30, 2020.
SO ORDERED.
Dated:

March 16, 2020
New York, New York
