Jay Alix v. McKinsey & Co., Inc. et al., 18-CV-04141 (JMF)

Dear Judge Furman:
We write to request that the deadline for Plaintiff Jay Alix’s response to Defendants’ letter
motion for a stay of discovery (ECF 201) be set for Monday, September 19, 2022, one week
following Defendants’ filing.
On May 31, 2022, the Court ordered that “Plaintiff shall file any opposition [to Defendants’
letter-motion for a stay] within a week of such a letter-motion.” See ECF 166. Plaintiff’s
counsel understood the Court’s Order as establishing a filing deadline of one week following
Defendants’ motion — here, September 19. It has scheduled case deadlines in other matters
based on that understanding and respectfully requests that the September 16 deadline
established by today’s Order (ECF 202) be extended three days to Monday, September 19.
Defendants’ letter-motion consists of five single-spaced pages addressing a critical issue for
the fair and efficient adjudication of this case. Alix respectfully submits that one week is a
reasonable and appropriate time to respond. Nor is there any danger of prejudice to
Defendants from such relief, including because discovery is stayed in the interim.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Michael E. Petrella

Application GRANTED. (The Court apologizes for
overlooking the fact that it had already imposed a
deadline.) The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate
ECF No. 203. SO ORDERED.
