Re:

Dated: August 12, 2020
American Empire Surplus Lines Insurance Company v.
Uplift Elevator of NY, Inc. (USDC SDNY, 20-CV-03246 PGG)

Your Honor:
We represent plaintiff American Empire Surplus Lines Insurance Company in the
referenced matter.
This matter is scheduled for a Pretrial Conference to be held on August 27, 2020 at 10:30
a.m. At present, none of the defendants have appeared and are in default, and we have obtained
Clerk’s Certificates of Default with the intention of shortly filing a motion seeking a default
judgment.
We write seeking the Court’s guidance as to whether the Pretrial Conference will proceed
under the circumstances. Additionally, if the conference will proceed, we respectfully request a
brief adjournment due to the fact that the undersigned will be out of state and unavailable on the
originally scheduled date.
We thank the Court for its consideration of this request.
Respectfully submitted,
L’ABBATE, BALKAN, COLAVITA
& CONTINI, L.L.P.
