Nantong Sanhai Garment Co., Ltd. v. Fab Mill, Inc., et al.
Case No. 21-cv-00859 (AJN)

Dear Judge Nathan:
Our firm represents Defendants, Fab Mill, Inc. and Juntai Li a/k/a Jonathan Li, in this
matter. We have recently filed a Motion to Dismiss Jonathan Li personally from this action, as
well as to dismiss multiple claims of Plaintiff against Fab Mill, Inc.
This Court has scheduled an Initial Pretrial Conference for April 30, 2021, with a Joint
Letter and proposed Case Management Plan to be filed on April 23, 2021. With the endorsement
of Plaintiff, we write this letter to request an adjournment of the conference and the corresponding
filing of the Case Management Plan until the pleadings have been finalized.
In response to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, Plaintiff has advised the Court that it will
be filing an Amended Complaint by May 3, 2021. In addition, your Honor has granted Plaintiff’s
application to the Court extending to May 17, 2021 Plaintiff’s time to respond to the motion (Doc.
No. 16). As your Honor’s rules provide, we may also file a new motion to dismiss. Based on
the foregoing, the parties respectfully submit that it is appropriate to adjourn the scheduling of
discovery, and forming a Case Management Plan, until the issues and relief requested in the motion
to dismiss are resolved.
Neither party has previously requested an adjournment of the initial conference (the Court,
on its own, did adjourn the conference one week from April 23 to April 30). Since Your Honor’s
rules indicate that an initial conference is generally scheduled within three months of the filing of
the Complaint (the Amended Complaint to be filed by May 3, 2021), and since we (a two-person
firm) have a trial scheduled for June 7, 2021, the parties propose the following mutually agreeable
alternate conference dates, which are on Fridays: June 18, 2021, June 25, 2021, or July 9, 2021.
SO ORDERED.

Attorney for Plaintiff

The conference is

resolution of the
motion to dismiss.

Respectfully submitted,
