UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
LITTLELEAF PROPERTIES II, LLC,
Plaintiff

No. 24-CV-892 (RA)

v.
MT. HAWLEY INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant

JOINT LETTER REGARDING AGREED
SECOND AMENDED CASE
MANAGEMENT PLAN AND
SCHEDULING ORDER

To the Hon. Ronnie Abrams, United States District Judge:
By agreement, the parties jointly request entry of the attached Second Amended Case
Management Plan and Scheduling Order. The amended order would extend the close of fact
discovery and expert discovery—currently scheduled for November 3, 2024 and January 28, 2025,
respectively—and all remaining deadlines and settings by approximately 90 days. The parties
further agree that plaintiff will designate its expert witnesses by January 13, 2025, and defendant
will designate its expert witnesses on February 14, 2025.
There has been one prior request for an extension of time, which was granted in connection
with a recent surgery and extended rehabilitation undertaken by plaintiff’s counsel. The current
request is made in good faith and not for the purpose of delay. Rather, the parties are jointly
requesting this relief (1) as an agreed resolution of a discovery dispute relating to interrogatories
and materials requested in May 2024 and only recently produced and (2) to facilitate scheduling
the deposition of defendant’s corporate representative whose workload and availability has been
significantly impacted by the sudden influx of claims arising from both Hurricane Helene and
Hurricane Milton.
