Shalik Harford v. 38th Street Suites LLC, et al.
Civil Case No.: 1:24-cv-01531-GHW

Dear Judge Woods:
As counsel for the Defendants in the above matter, we write further to Plaintiff’s
letter (Dkt. No. 14) and Your Honor’s May 2, 2024 Order (Dkt. No. 15) to confirm the parties’
request that this matter be referred to the Court’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Mediation
Program. The parties respectfully report that they consent to referral of this case to the mediation
program and respectfully request that all litigation deadlines be adjourned pending such ADR.
Specifically, the parties request 60 days to complete the mediation process and, in order to
conserve the parties’ resources, that potential motion practice (Dkt. No. 11) be adjourned to a date
thereafter.
We thank the Court for its consideration and continued attention to this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
JACKSON LEWIS, P.C.
