Jason Vale v. City of New York, et al.
18 Civ. 1866 (PGG)

Your Honor:
I am a Senior Counsel in the Office of James E. Johnson, Corporation Counsel of
the City of New York, and the attorney assigned to represent the City Defendants in the abovereferenced matter. City Defendants write to respectfully request that their time to respond to
submit an ex parte letter to the Court be extended until December 9, 2019. LIJ Defendant and
Plaintiff join in this application.
By way of background, the Court granted City Defendants an extension of time to
submit their counter-offer to plaintiff until December 6, 2019. City Defendants now request
additional time to submit an ex parte letter so that they have sufficient time to include details of
their counter-offer, and any communication with plaintiff, that may occur after they submit their
counter-offer on December 6, 2019. Plaintiff has represented he needs additional time to
consider City Defendants’ offer before submitting an ex parte letter. City Defendants
respectfully submit that no party will be prejudiced by the granting of this extension, and thank
the Court for its understanding. Based on the foregoing, City Defendants now respectfully
request that their to submit an ex parte letter to the Court be extended until December 9, 2019.
LIJ Defendant and Plaintiff join in this application.
Thank you for your consideration herein.
