Re: DoubleLine Capital, LP v. Odebrecht Finance, Ltd., No. 17-cv-4576-GHW-BCM
Dear Judge Moses:
We have recently been retained to represent Odebrecht Finance Ltd., Construtora
Norberto Odebrecht S.A. , and Odebrecht S.A. (collectively, the "Defendants") in the abovecaptioned action. Pursuant to paragraph 2.A of this Court' s Individual Rules of Practice
(" Individual Practices"), we write to respectfully request that the Court extend the December 31 ,
2019 deadline for Defendants' response to Plaintiffs ' third amended complaint ("TAC") for two
weeks until January 14, 2020, for the reasons set forth below. This is the Defendants ' first
request for an adjournment of their deadline to file an answer, and plaintiffs in the
above-captioned action consent to the request.
The Defendants' primary basis for their request is to permit the Defendants an
adequate opportunity to submit a draft of their answer to the TAC to the U.S. Department of
Justice to review the draft in connection w ith the facts described in the Information and
Statement of Facts filed in United States v. Odebrecht S A. 16-cr-643 (E.D.N .Y.). Defendants
also submit that the request for a two-week extension is appropriate given that this Firm has only
been retained in the past week and -in light of the upcoming holidays. The Defendants' request
would not affect any other deadline set by the Court.
