RE.

Hobbs, et al. v. Metropolitan Transit Authority, et al.,
17cv8199 (ALC)(KNF)

Dear Judge Carter, Jr:
I represent the plaintiffs in the above referenced action and respectfully request a 30-day
extension of time to file a status letter. All parties consent to the request.
On January 12, 2021, Byron Z. Zinonos, an attorney from the Transit Authority advised that
Alexis Downs is currently out on family leave and the Transit Authority is in the process of
retaining outside counsel for this case. Mr. Zinonos asked if I would consent to write to the court
seeking an extension of time. On January 14, 2021, John Egan advised that his firm, Seyfarth
Shaw LLP, has been engaged in this matter and will file a notice of appearance on behalf of the
MTA and the Transit Authority.
Consequently, to allow Seyfarth Shaw LLP sufficient time to get up to date with the facts in this
case as well as provide parties time to discuss if settlement is possible, we respectfully request a
30-day extension of time to file a status letter on or before February 12, 2021.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully yours,
/s/ James E. Bahamonde
