No. 17-cv-5205 (NRB)
Dear Judge Buchwald,
The parties in the above-referenced matter write to update the Court on the status of their
negotiations regarding a joint stipulation of facts. The parties have exchanged drafts of a proposed
joint stipulation of facts and continue to believe that this approach is broadly workable, although
they are still negotiating certain details. The parties will endeavor to file a joint stipulation and
propose a briefing schedule by next Friday. If the parties are unable to do so by next Friday, they
will propose a schedule for further proceedings.
In addition, in light of these ongoing negotiations, Defendants respectfully request that the
deadline for Defendants to file a responsive pleading to the Complaint be extended from
September 15, 2017, to September 29, 2017. There have been no previous requests for an
extension of this deadline. Plaintiffs do not object to this request.
Respectfully submitted,
Jessica Ring Amunson (pro hac vice)
