18 CV 1937 (VSB) (GWG)
Dear Judge Broderick:

November 18, 2022

11/21/2022
The motion for partial summary judgment,
(Doc. 138), filed by the City Defendants’ (as
defined below), shall be held in abeyance for
30 days pending the submission of a
Stipulation of Settlement and Order of
Dismissal as to the City Defendants.

I am an Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of the Corporation Counsel of the City
of New York, counsel for Defendants the City of New York, Corizon Health, Inc., Commissioner
Joseph Ponte, Dr. Rostislav Davydov, and PA Villalobos (“City Defendants”) in the above action,
in which pro se Plaintiff Michael Jones alleges unconstitutional conditions of confinement and
unconstitutional strip searches while incarcerated.
I write to inform the Court that City Defendants and Plaintiff have reached a settlement in
principle regarding all of Plaintiff’s claims against City Defendants. As such City Defendants
motion for partial summary judgment (ECF No. 138) will soon be moot, and we respectfully
request that the Court hold the motion in abeyance for 30 days. The parties will be submitting a
Stipulation of Settlement and Order of Dismissal in short order.
I also write in response to Plaintiff’s letter dated November 14, 2022, which was
uploaded to ECF this morning (ECF No. 171). I spoke to Mr. Jones this morning and informed
him that City Defendants had not filed a reply in further support of their motion for partial
summary judgment.
Thank you for consideration of this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/
