Re: Perry Lopez v. New York City Department of Education, et al.
No. 17-CV-9205 (RA) (BCM)
Dear Judge Abrams:
I am an Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of the Hon. Sylvia O. HindsRadix, Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, attorney for Defendants New York City
Department of Education (“DOE”), Jennifer Ade, Principal of P.S. 46, and Nitza Bellamy,
Assistant Principal of P.S. 46 in this matter. 1 On April 27, 2023, the parties attended a settlement
conference with Magistrate Judge Moses. On May 4, 2023, Judge Moses issued an order
sanctioning the Law Department and the New York City Department of Education in connection
with their participation in the settlement conference. See ECF Dkt. No. 85. On May 18, 2023,
Defendants filed Rule 72 Objections to this Order with a request to file their Objections under seal
in full. See ECF Dkt. Nos. 88-89. On May 24, 2023, this Court denied Defendants’ request but
allowed Defendants to propose redactions to these documents and justify the need for such
redactions, consistent with Lugosch v. Pyramid Co., 435 F.3d 110, 119-21 (2d Cir. 2006). See
ECF Dkt. No. 92. The Court did not give Defendants a deadline to submit redacted Rule 72
Objections. See ECF Dkt. No. 92.
Defendants plan on submit proposed redactions along with an explanation of and
justification for each redaction. However, I have a pre-planned vacation and will be out of the
country from May 26, 2023 through June 1, 2023, and am returning to the office on June 2, 2023.
Individually named defendants Jennifer Ade and Nitza Bellamy were dismissed from this case.
See ECF Dkt. No. 73, at 3:9-10.

redactions by June 9, 2023.
Defendants thank the Court for its consideration of this request.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Traci Krasne
