Dear Judge Aaron,
Pursuant to the Local Rules of the Southern District of New York and this Court’s procedure,
below please find the Plaintiffs, Jodi Rouviere and Andre Rouviere’s, Letter Request for an
Extension of time to file its expert disclosure. Plaintiffs have been working diligently with
an engineer toward completion of it expert report. Not until Thursday night, September 17,
2020 at 10 pm did the expert advise the Plaintiffs that he was not willing to continue as
Plaintiffs expert. Plaintiffs have sought the agreement of the Defense to extend the deadline
one week. Defendants have refused to an agreement.
Plaintiffs seek one additional week to secure its full complement of experts and file its Expert
disclosure. Plaintiffs will be irreparably harmed if it cannot have time to locate a replacement
expert.
Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court extend the time to respond to file its
Expert Witness Disclosure by one week. This motion is not filed to cause undue delay.
