MEMO ENDORSED
U.S. Bank National Association v. Joeefi LLC, et al.
Case No.: 1:24-cv-03966 (VEC)
Dear Judge Caproni:
We are writing as counsel for the plaintiff, U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders of J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp.,
Multifamily Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2018-SB47 (the "Plaintiff") in the abovereferenced case to respectfully request a brief extension of the date to move for default judgment
against the Defaulting Defendants (defined below).
On January 17, 2025, Your Honor ordered Plaintiff to move for default judgment against
defendants Blue Whale East 182nd LLC, Shony & G Corp., City of New York Department of
Environmental Control, and Department of Housing Preservation and Development (the
"Defaulting Defendants") on or before January 31, 2025. Plaintiff is also required to move for
summary judgment against defendants Joeefi LLC, the Estate of Joseph Goldberger, and Eva
Goldberger (the "Answering Defendants”) by February 14, 2025. [ECF 56.]
For reasons of judicial efficiency, Plaintiff respectfully requests a brief extension of the
default judgment deadline to February 14, 2025, to allow Plaintiff to file a combined motion
addressing both default judgment against the Defaulting Defendants and summary judgment
against the Answering Defendants. Consolidating these filings aligns with the approach often
employed in foreclosure actions, where (as here) default judgments are sought against parties who
were named solely for notice purposes or may be subordinated lienors. In its summary judgment
motion, Plaintiff expects to move for reference to a magistrate to calculate the amount due—a
calculation that is applicable both to the Answering Defendants and the Defaulting Defendants.
Plaintiff believes providing a single deadline will streamline resolution of this matter and
minimize duplicative filings. Answering Defendants are not affected by this request, and
Defaulting Defendants will not be prejudiced by this extension. This is Plaintiff’s first request for
an extension.
