Re:

Case No. 1:24-cv-01670
Dear Judge Oetken:
05/10/2024
Our office represents Plaintiff in the above referenced matter. We write, jointly with
Defendants, to inform the Court that Defendants have produced an arbitration agreement, and to
request the following: (1) referral to the SDNY Mediation Program, (2) a stay of discovery pending
completion of the parties’ mediation, and (3) an adjournment of the May 14, 2024 initial
conference until after mediation and, should it be necessary, any briefing regarding the arbitration
agreement produced by Defendants.
On April 23, 2024, Defendants produced an employee agreement related to Plaintiff’s
employment, which contained an arbitration clause. Prior to raising any dispute regarding the
arbitration agreement or its terms, the parties conferred and agreed to attempt to mediate this case
using the SDNY Mediation Program. Defendants’ agreement to mediation is not to be considered
a waiver of any future objection to the jurisdiction of this Court over Plaintiff’s claims.
Should the mediation fail, the parties propose submitting a joint briefing schedule regarding
disputes, if any, as to the arbitration agreement produced by Defendant.
We thank the Court for its time and attention to the above.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ C.K. Lee
C.K. Lee, Esq.
