Re: Carlynn Alexander v. City of New York, et al.
Civil Action No.: 21-cv-2543 (JMF)
Dear Judge Furman:

June 3, 2021

I am the Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of James E. Johnson,
Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, assigned to represent defendants City of New
York and Marisa Caggiano (“Defendants”) in the above-referenced action. I write to respectfully
request a three-week extension of time, from June 4, 2021 to July 6, 2021, for Defendants to
respond to the complaint. Defendants previously requested, and the Court granted, extensions of
time from March 31, 2021 to May 14, 2021, and from May 14, 2021 to June 4, 2021, for
Defendants to respond to the complaint. In addition, and with such an extension, Defendants
respectfully request that the initial pretrial conference, scheduled for June 14, 2021 at 4:00 p.m.
be adjourned to a date and time following Defendants’ response to the complaint, and otherwise
convenient to the Court. Plaintiff’s counsel consents to the foregoing requests.
Since the date of Defendants’ last request, the parties have started to engage in
good faith negotiations concerning the potential resolution of this case. Defendants make this
request to allow the parties additional time to negotiate possible settlement and thereby seek to
resolve this case without further judicial intervention.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully Submitted,
/s/
Laura C. Williams
Assistant Corporation Counsel
