Dear Honorable Judge Abrams,
Our office with Gangat LLC represent the Plaintiffs in the above referenced matter.
Pursuant to Your Honor's Individual Rules & Practices, we write regarding the upcoming
February 10, 2020, 3 :00 p.m. conference before Your Honor for Plaintiffs' Order to Show Cause
for Default Judgment.
Unexpectedly, my co-counsel, Mohammed Gangat is not able to attend on February 10,
2020. As co-counsel, who represented Plaintiffs since the inception of the matter and also
assisted Mr. Gangat with the preparation of the Order to Show Cause Default Judgment papers, I
am fully familiar with the facts, legal issues, and damages of the case. As a result, I am ready to
appear and proceed without Mr. Gangat on the substance of our papers with the exception of Mr.
Gangat's request for attorneys' fees.
If the Court requires Mr. Gangat's appearance for the conference regarding Plaintiffs'
Order to Show Cause for Default Judgment, then we respectfully request an adjournment of the
conference date to when both Mr. Gangat and I are available. This is the first such request by the
Plaintiffs.

Regarding conferring with Defendants, I attempted to reach Defendant Mohammed
Mojnu Miah by phone at the number identified at the docket and left a voice message. I phoned
Noor Islam at the number identified at the docket, and as I am also fluent in Bengali,
communicated to him that there is a February 10, 2020, 3 :00 p.m. Court conference date, of
which he said he was aware and intended to appear. I then communicated the nature of this
correspondence, and requested whether he would have any objection if the Court date was
adjourned. Mr. Islam said he didn't have any objection and asked that I confer with Mr. Miah,
with whom I already left a voice message. I also reminded him unless the Court determines
otherwise, there is a Court conference on February 10, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. before Your Honor.
