Re: N.C. v. New York City Dep’t of Educ. 22-cv-9152 (MKV)(VF)

Dear Judge Vyskocil:

I am a Special Assistant Corporation Counsel in the office of Corporation Counsel,
Hon. Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix, attorney for Defendant in the above-referenced action, wherein
Plaintiff seeks attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses for legal work on an administrative hearing
under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §1400, et seq. (“IDEA”), as
well as for this action.

Defendant respectfully requests an adjournment sine die of the phone conference
currently scheduled for January 25, 2023, and instead respectfully requests that the parties be
permitted to submit a joint status letter by April 25, 2023, either informing the Court of
settlement or proposing a briefing schedule. This is the first request to adjourn the phone
conference sine die. Plaintiff consents to these requests.

The requested adjournment will allow Defendant time to review Plaintiffs’ billing
records, prepare a request for settlement authority to the Office of the New York City
Comptroller, and then make an initial settlement offer to Plaintiff. The parties are confident that
this matter can be resolved without further burden on the Court’s time.

Accordingly, Defendant respectfully requests that the January 25, 2023 conference be
adjourned sine die, with a status letter due by April 25, 2023.

Thank you for considering these requests.
