NYCTA v. Hart!i>rd Ins. Co. of the Midwest and Hartford Cas. Ins. Co.
Case Number: 18-CV-2006 (RA)

Dear Judge Abrams:
On September 23, 2019, the Court ordered a stay of this action to January 21, 2020 and
further directed that the parties file a joint status letter with the Court on that date. Accordingly,
the parties herein submit this letter to the Court with a joint request that the stay be extended for
an additional 120 days to May 22, 2020.
In this insurance coverage action, Plaintiff seeks additional insured coverage from
Defendants in connection with an underlying personal injury matter styled Stephanie Jackson v.
NYCTA, et al., pending in New York State Supreme Court, Bronx County (the "Underlying
Action"). Upon information and belief, there have been continuing discussions about a possible
mediation and settlement by various parties in the Underlying Action. It is our understanding that
those parties will be continuing with these discussions. As such, in our continued effort to avoid
unnecessary expense - as well as promote judicial economy - the parties jointly request that this
Honorable Court order a further stay of this action until May 22, 2020 to explore possible
settlement.
Thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
Application granted. This case shall remain stayed until May 22,
2020, or such earlier time as the parties jointly request a lift of the
stay. If the parties have not requested that the stay be lifted by May
22, 2020, the parties shall file a joint status letter with the Court on
that date.
SO ORDERED.
