Re:

Plaintiff’s Unopposed Request for Extension to File – Amended Complaint
Thompson v. Lemon, et al., No. 23-cv-2102 ( JPO) (KHP)

Dear Judge Parker:
As pro bono counsel, I write on behalf of Plaintiff Kwaine Thompson (“Plaintiff”),
pursuant to Your Honor’s Individual Rules of Practice, to request an extension of time to file
Plaintiff’s amended complaint, which is currently due on September 28, 2024. See ECF No. 16.
Plaintiff respectfully requests an additional thirty (30) days, which would make the
amended complaint due by October 28, 2024. This is Plaintiff’s first request for extension. In
part, this request is necessary because Mr. Thompson’s communication capabilities are limited
since he remains incarcerated. For example, the majority of our communication is done by firstclass mail, which imaginably presents its own challenges.
As for the defendants’ position, counsel stated the following: “The Office of Corporation
Counsel takes no position, particularly as we do not represent any defendants in this case.”
Thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate the Court’s attention to this matter.
Respectfully,
/s/ Sami Elamad
