Re:

O’Hara v. City Testing Centers, LLC, et al
Case No.: 23-cv-03873

Your Honor,
This office represents the Plaintiff, Brianna O’Hara in the above referenced action brought
under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and New York Labor Law (“NYLL”). We write,
jointly with the Defendants, to request the Court stay discovery in this action and refer the case to a
settlement conference before the assigned Magistrate Judge. To date the Parties have exchanged
responses to one another’s discovery demands and have begun the meet and confer process
concerning those responses. While discussing the preceding it became evident that the Parties may
be able to settle the action with the aid of the assigned magistrate judge. In order to give adequate
time for the Parties to prepare for the settlement conference and so the Parties can use litigation
resources towards settlement, we request the Court stay discovery
Given the above, the Parties jointly request the Court stay discovery and refer the action to a
settlement conference
We thank the Court for its courtesy in this regard.
The request is granted. Discovery in this case is
stayed and the Court will enter an order
referring this matter to the Honorable Gabriel
W. Gorenstein for a settlement conference. The
parties shall file a status letter in this matter no
later than seven days following the settlement
conference, advising the Court of their
views as to whether the stay on discovery
should be lifted and proposing a revised
Civil Case Management Plan if so. The Clerk
of Court is respectfully directed to close Docket
Number 60.
SO ORDERED.
Date: November 22, 2024
New York, New York

Respectfully Submitted,
LAW OFFICE OF WILLIAM CAFARO
