Re:

Williams v. United States, No. 17 Civ. 6779 (WHP)

Dear Judge Pauley:
This Office represents the United States in the above-captioned action. I write on behalf
of all parties to request a 60-day extension of current discovery deadlines. While the parties have
taken initial depositions and have several more depositions scheduled during July, the parties are
still working to schedule depositions of certain third parties, including an employee of the Office
of the New York City Medical Examiner, prior to the exchange of expert disclosures.
The current discovery deadlines are: fact discovery to conclude July 27, 2020; Plaintiff’s
initial expert disclosures due July 7, 2020; Defendant’s initial expert disclosures due July 28, 2020;
and a discovery conference scheduled for August 6, 2020.
The parties respectfully request the following schedule: fact discovery to conclude
September 25, 2020; Plaintiff’s expert disclosures due September 25, 2020; Defendant’s expert
disclosures due October 16, 2020; expert discovery to conclude November 13, 2020; and a
discovery conference to be scheduled in October or November 2020 at the Court’s convenience.
This is the parties’ second request for an extension of these discovery deadlines. The
previous request was granted on March 30, 2020.

Application granted. This Court adopts the parties’
proposed schedule. The August 6, 2020 conference is
rescheduled to November 20, 2020 at 12:00 p.m.
Dated: July 7, 2020
New York, New York
