v. Electrolux, et. al.
Index No.: 1:18-cv-2476

Dear Magistrate Wang:
Please allow this correspondence to serve as a joint status letter and adjournment request of the
October 28th in-person conference.
The parties conducted a mediation before Southern District mediator Philip Graham on Monday
October 25th. This was our second mediation session and first post expert depositions. The case
did not resolve on Monday, however both sides agreed to entertain a mediator’s recommended
settlement amount. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Graham provided his recommendation.
The settlement recommendation is being reviewed by our respective clients as the number is
outside the current settlement authority for both parties, though within a range that may prove
more acceptable to both parties. We would respectfully ask for a two (2) or three (3) week
adjournment of tomorrow’s conference as there is a possibility the appearance will be moot by
that time.
Alternatively, if the Court prefers an appearance tomorrow, we kindly ask that the appearance be
conducted telephonically. Both sides are engaged in depositions and would take a break in order
to appear before Your Honor for the appearance.
We apologize for the late request. Both sides were under the impression the appearance was
telephonically until late this afternoon. Thank you for your time and courtesies.
