Re: Benthos Masters Fund, LTD. V. Aaron Etra, 20-cv-3384 (VEC)

Dear Judge Caproni,
I represent Aaron Etra in the above-captioned matter for the limited
purposes stated in the Court’s Orders dated April 17, 2023 (Dkt. 322) and
September 28, 2023 (Dkt. 383). I write to communicate a request from Mr. Etra
acting in his capacity as pro se Respondent for adjournment of the conference
scheduled for November 16, 2023 related to the ongoing privilege review of
materials.
Mr. Etra via Corrlinks wrote to me that he respectfully requests to adjourn
the conference:
[T]o a time when I have had a chance to see in print when mailed to me
here and respond to any relevant communication from Mr. Popofsky
which he might have sent or send and have a reasonable time to prepare
to deal with the content at a hearing before the Court.
I cannot either turn on the harsh light in my cell or come out to the same
harsh light in the common areas except for very limited periods and
cannot focus on a computer screen except in even more limited times via
the minimal facilities available to be shared by the 124 persons in this
Unit and at great risk and strain to my eye conditions about which I
have been severely cautioned by NY Eye and Ear.
Thank you,
/s/ Aaron Etra
