RE:

Julie Small v. Merrick B. Garland
18 - CV- 5659 (BCM)

6/21/21

Dear Magistrate Judge Moses:
This law firm represents the Plaintiff, Julie Small, and with the consent of Defendant’s
counsel, I request that the date for the filing of the proposed Joint Pretrial Order be extended by
two weeks, from June 28, 2021 to July 12, 2021. This is the second request to extend the filing
date for the JTPO. On April 23, 2021, the parties jointly requested an extension in order to
pursue settlement negotiations. (Dkt. No. 74). Your Honor granted the application and referred
the matter to Magistrate Judge Aaron for a settlement conference. (Dkt. Nos. 74, 78). At the
settlement conference, held May 28, 2021, the parties were unable to settle the case, and Your
Honor ordered that the JTPO be filed on June 28, 2021 and a trial scheduling conference held on
July 6, 2021. (Dkt. No. 78).
The reason for my request for an extension of the proposed JTPO is that important family
obligations have arisen leaving me not enough time to prepare the necessary papers. Counsel are
available for a trial scheduling conference any time the week of July 19, 2021 except for the
morning of July 23, 2021.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
APPLICATION GRANTED. The proposed joint pretrial order is due no later
than July 12, 2021. The July 6, 2021 trial scheduling conference is adjourned
to July 20, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom 20A of the Daniel Patrick
Moynihan United States Courthouse. This is an in-person proceeding. Counsel
are advised to consult the Chief Judge's current entry protocols, available at
https://nysd.uscourts.gov /covid-19-coronavirus, in advance of the conference.
At the conference, counsel should be prepared to propose a schedule for any
limine motions and for the submission of voir dire questions, requests to
charge, a verdict sheet, and exhibit binders, in anticipation of a November 1,
2021 trial date. SO ORDERED.
