Gittens-Bridges v. City of New York et. al
Index No.: 19-cv.00272(ER)

Dear Honorable Judge Ramos:
I respectfully write as an officer of the Court to request a stay of 60 days. I tested positive for
Covid-19 this afternoon and will be pursuing additional treatment. I seek this stay in light of
Plaintiff’s opposition to Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. In my previous
correspondence to the Court, I identified pre-existing respiratory issues, specifically chronic
asthma. I am currently experiencing shortness of breath, difficulty speaking, debilitating
headaches, loss of smell and taste. As such, I will need time to recover and to pursue treatment.
Consistent with my current health status, I respectfully ask the Court to allow me 30 days
to determine if I am able to resume litigation. If I am better at that time, I will not need the full
60 days and will notify the Court.
In closing, I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause the Court and or Counsel. If
the Court deems it necessary, I can send a copy to the Court via email of the positive test results
for confirmation.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/
Special Hagan, Esq.
Attorney for Plaintiff
Lorraine A. Gittens Bridges
