Re: J.L., et al. v. NYC Dep’t of Education, et ano.,
No. 17-CV-7150 (PAC) (KHP)

05/17/2022

Your Honor:
I am the Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of the Corporation Counsel of
the City of New York assigned to represent Defendants New York City Department of Education
(DOE) and DOE Chancellor David C. Banks in the above-referenced matter, in which Plaintiffs,
the parents of three students, allege that their rights were violated due to alleged systemic delays
in providing their children coordinated nursing, transportation, and porter services.
I write to respectfully request an adjournment of the settlement conference currently
scheduled for Wednesday, May 18, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., and a corresponding adjournment of the
parties’ settlement submissions due with the Court today.
The reason for the requested enlargement is that I have been out sick this past week
as my entire family and I have gotten COVID-19, and one family member has recently developed
serious complications as a result of COVID.
Counsel for Plaintiffs consents to this request, and this is the first request for an
adjournment of the settlement conference. The parties intend to propose alternative dates for the
conference to the Court by the end of next week.

Case 1:17-cv-07150-PAC-KHP Document 218 Filed 05/17/22 Page 2 of 2

I thank the Court for its consideration of the within request.
Respectfully submitted,
s/
Philip S. Frank
Assistant Corporation Counsel
