RE:

Espinal v. Seattle Pacific University (No. 1:23-cv-11237-LGS)
Joint Motion to Adjourn Initial Pretrial Conference

Dear Judge Schofield:
This law firm represents Defendant Seattle Pacific University (“SPU”) in the above
referenced matter. Our office was recently retained for this matter, and delivered a waiver of
service to Plaintiff’s counsel on January 30, 2024. Accordingly, SPU’s deadline to answer or
otherwise respond to the complaint is currently April 1, 2024.
We write together with counsel for Plaintiff to request that the Court adjourn the initial
pretrial conference currently scheduled for February 14, 2024, to a date following SPU’s answer
deadline. The parties are engaged in settlement discussions, which if successful will obviate SPU’s
need to respond to the complaint. Accordingly, adjourning the conference to after this date would
enable all parties to avoid likely unnecessary attorneys’ fees and focus their efforts on resolution.
This is the parties’ first request to adjourn the initial pretrial conference. Plaintiff consents
to this request. Granting this request would not affect any other deadlines or appearances currently
set in this matter. We thank the Court for its time and consideration of this request.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Erik P. Pramschufer
