Re:

Xhafa v. Mayorkas, et al., No. 23 Civ. 3661 (JGLC)

Dear Judge Clarke:
This Office represents defendants (collectively, the “government”) in the above-captioned
matter. I write respectfully, with plaintiff’s consent and in accordance with Rule 2.e of Your
Honor’s Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases, to request that the conference scheduled
for November 16, 2023, be adjourned until a later date.
The reason for the requested adjournment is that agency counsel at U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services who is handling this matter is out of the office until November 20, 2023,
and therefore the undersigned will not be able to obtain an update on the status of plaintiff’s asylum
application until next week.
The parties have consulted regarding alternative dates and propose that the conference
proceed via Microsoft Teams on one of the following days:




November 29, 2023, 9:30-11am or after 12:30pm
December 1, 2023
December 4, 2023, after 1pm

This is the government’s first request for an adjournment of the conference scheduled for
November 16, 2023, and I thank the Court for its consideration of this letter.
Application GRANTED. The conference scheduled for November 16, 2023 is hereby
adjourned to November 29, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. The Clerk of Court is respectfully
directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 16.
Dated: November 15, 2023
New York, New York

SO ORDERED.

JESSICA G. L. CLARKE
