Re:

Elvis Peralta v. City of New York, et al.
Docket No. 19-cv-7565 (JHR) (JLC)

Honorable Judge Rearden,
Pursuant to Your Honor’s order dated March 28, 2023 (ECF Doc. 98), the parties reached
out to schedule a settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Cott’s chambers on May 2, 2023.
In the same order, Your Honor also granted the parties’ joint application for an extension of time
to complete discovery on May 21, 2023.
On May 2, 2023, based on Magistrate Judge Cott’s availability, the parties conferred and
requested a settlement conference on July 25, 2023 at 2:15pm via video conference (ECF Doc.
100) that was then scheduled and so ordered by Judge Cott (ECF Doc. 102). After conferring
with defense counsel, the parties now make this instant application to request a stay of discovery
until after the aforesaid settlement conference is completed.
It is respectfully requested, therefore, that the Court grant the parties’ application and
stay discovery in this matter, together with such other relief the Court may deem just and proper.
Thank you for your consideration of the above.
Sincerely,
/s/ Ataur Raquib, Esq.
Ataur Raquib, Esq.
Attorney for plaintiff
