Re: Jason Holloway v. Dermot F. Shea
Civil Action No.: 21-CV-00496-ALC
Law Dept. No.: 2021-003288
Dear Judge Carter:
I am the Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of James E. Johnson,
Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, assigned to represent Defendant, Dermot F. Shea,
sued in his official capacity as the Commissioner of the New York City Police Department, in
the above-referenced matter. In accord with Rule 1.D of Your Honor’s Individual Practices, I
write to respectfully request that the time for Defendant to respond to the Complaint be extended
from February 17, 2021, to April 5, 2021. This is Defendant’s first request for an extension of
time. The extension of time is requested so this Office may adequately investigate the
allegations made in the Complaint and prepare a proper response. Plaintiff consents to the
requested 45-day extension. The requested extension will not affect any other scheduled dates in
this litigation.
For the reasons set forth above, Defendant respectfully requests that the time to
respond to the Complaint be extended until April 5, 2021. I apologize for the delay in making
this request. I was out of the office until today owing to furlough leave and the federal holiday
yesterday. I thank the Court for its consideration of this request.

Respectfully submitted,
/s/
Brittany J. Finder
Assistant Corporation Counsel
February 17, 2021
