Re: Vieira, et al. v. Headley, et al., Case No. 21 CV 648 (PAC)(SLC)
Dear Magistrate Judge Cave:
I am an Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of the Corporation Counsel of
the City of New York, the Honorable Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix, attorney for the Defendants in the
above-referenced action. With the consent of Plaintiffs’ counsel, I write to respectfully request a
2-week adjournment, to October 4, 2022, or thereafter at the Court’s convenience, of the
conference currently scheduled for 12pm on September 20, 2022.
With the loss of Ms. Singh’s able attention to this matter (and the departure of others
in the General Litigation Division), the Law Department does not presently have a counteroffer
that it can make to Plaintiffs’ demand vis-à-vis costs and attorneys’ fees. Nevertheless, providing
Plaintiffs with a counteroffer as soon as possible has been prioritized by myself and by the
colleagues working with me on this action. To afford additional time for the Law Department to
provide Plaintiffs with a counteroffer and to maximize the beneficial use of the Court’s time at the
next status conference, I therefore respectfully request a 2-week adjournment of the upcoming
status conference.
This is the Defendants’ first request for an adjournment of the upcoming status
conference. As noted above, the conference is currently scheduled for 12pm on September 20,
2022, and the requested adjournment would move this date to October 4, 2022. Plaintiffs’ counsel
has informed me that Plaintiffs “reluctantly consent” to this application.
