Pursuant to this Court's April 1, 2021 Order for Conference Pursuant to Rule l 6(b ), the

Scheduling Order at least one week before the conference. Plaintiff has filed a Motion to
Dismiss, and accompanying Declaration and Memorandum of Law [Dkt. Nos . 16-18] , courtesy
copies of which are enclosed. We understand that Defendants intend to file a Motion to Dismiss
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(c).

fl~ \.'

In view of the foregoing, the patties seek to adjourn the scheduling conference a
extend the time to submit the proposed Scheduling Order, as the Court's rulings may rend
certain deadlines established at the conference moot. This is the first request for an adjoumme
of the conference and an extension of the time to submit a proposed Scheduling Order.
Thank yo u for your consideration.
Respectfully yours,
Isl Vernon E. Inge, Jr.
