Re:

Jonathan Mercedes v. City of New York et al., 17 Civ. 7368 (AKH)

Your Honor:
I am a Senior Counsel in the New York City Law Department, attorney for
defendants Police Officer Richard Evans, Police Officer Anthony Amirally, Police Officer Kevin
Treacy, and Police Officer Christopher Boland. I write with plaintiff’s consent to respectfully
request an extension of time from July 6, 2022 until July 20, 2022 to file the stipulation and order
of dismissal in this matter. This is defendants’ first request for an extension to file the stipulation
and order of dismissal. The reason for this request is that the parties are still working out the
specific language of the settlement documents, which will permit plaintiff to preserve his right to
appeal certain aspects of the summary judgment decision.
I thank the Court for its time and attention to this request.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Christopher G. Arko
