Re: A.P. individually and on behalf of C.P. v. N.Y.C. Dept. of Educ.
21-cv-11157 (LGS) (VF)
Dear Judge Schofield:
I am an Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of the Corporation Counsel
assigned to represent the New York City Department of Education (DOE) in the above-captioned
matter, in which Plaintiff seeks attorneys’ fees pursuant to the fee-shifting provision of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1400, et seq. I write, with Plaintiff’s
consent, to respectfully request a two-week extension of Defendant’s time to file its cross-motion
for summary judgment, from August 1, 2022 until August 15, 2022.
This is Defendant’s second request for an extension of time to file its cross-motion
for summary judgment. On June 16, 2022, the parties jointly requested an extension of the
summary judgment briefing schedule (ECF 24), including a nunc pro tunc extension of the parties’
time to file a Joint 56.1 Statement of Undisputed Facts and the underlying bates stamped
administrative record, to allow the parties additional time to explore the possibility of settlement.
The Court granted that request on June 24, 2022 (ECF 28).
Defendant now respectfully requests a two-week extension of its time to file its
cross-motion for summary judgment. The requested extension is on account of the recent departure
of several senior attorneys from my office and multiple unanticipated and emergency deadlines
and appearances that have recently arisen. Additionally, Plaintiff provided updated billing records
on June 30, 2022, and Defendant made an offer of settlement on July 27, 2022. The additional time
would allow the parties to consider to explore the possibility of settlement of this action without
further need for judicial intervention.
Accordingly, Defendant respectfully requests a two-week extension to the
summary judgment briefing schedule, and respectfully proposes the following proposed briefing
schedule:
•
•
•
Defendant shall file its cross motion by August 15, 2022;
Plaintiff shall file her response by September 5, 2022;
Defendant shall file its reply by September 19, 2022.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/
Hannah J. Sarokin
Assistant Corporation Counsel
