Re:
Your Honor:

Ronald Colson v. Warden Mingo, et al.
18 Civ. 2765 (JMF) (VF)

I am an Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of the Honorable Sylvia O. HindsRadix, Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, and the attorney assigned to represent
defendants in the above-referenced matter. Defendants write to respectfully request an
adjournment of the telephonic status conference currently scheduled for May 18, 2022. 1 This is
the first request for an adjournment of this conference, and plaintiff consents to this request.
Defendants request this adjournment because the undersigned will be in trial in another
matter, pending in the Eastern District – Watson v. Guerra, Eastern District of New York Civil
Docket No. 17-CV-5137 (BMC) (TAM) – which is scheduled to commence on May 17, 2022,
and is expected to conclude on either May 18 or May 19, 2022.
Accordingly, defendants respectfully request that this status conference be adjourned.
Counsel for the parties have conferred and propose May 25, 2022, any time after 12:00 noon, or
May 23, 2022, any time between 12:00 noon and 3:00 p.m. for the status conference.

1

Defendants apologize for not submitting this request at least 72 hours in advance of the
scheduled conference, set forth in § I(e) of Your Honor’s Individual Practices in Civil Cases.
The undersigned mistakenly thought such requests were to be made at least two days in advance.

We thank the Court for its attention to this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
