Rosario v. City of New York, et al.,
18 Civ. 4023 (LGS)

Your Honor:
I am one of the attorneys assigned to represent the defendants in this action. Defendants
write to respectfully request an adjournment of the trial of this matter presently scheduled to begin
on January 25, 2022. Defendants have advised plaintiff’s counsel of their intention to make this
request.
This request is made due to medical issues that have arisen with one of the individual
defendants and defense counsel. Briefly, one of the individual defendants has a severe, urgent
medical issue that will render him unavailable during the trial period. Additionally, the defense
team has been impacted by a COVID-19 case such that it will be impossible to adequately prepare
the defense for trial. In accordance with the Court’s January 13th Order (ECF No. 364) and in
accordance with the Court’s Individual Rules of Practice, defendants have submitted the details of
these issues in a letter to the Court via email on an ex parte basis.
Accordingly, and regrettably, defendants have no choice but to request an adjournment of
the trial at this time. Defendants thank the Court for its time and attention, and are available at the
Court’s convenience to discuss any of the matters addressed herein.
Respectfully submitted,

Hannah V. Faddis
Senior Counsel
Special Federal Litigation Division
