Ramos, et al. v. Banks, et al., 24-cv-5109 (LGS)

Your Honor:
I am an Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Office of Muriel Goode-Trufant, Acting
Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, attorney for Defendants the New York City
Department of Education (“DOE”) and DOE Chancellor David Banks in the above-referenced
action. I write jointly with Plaintiffs’ counsel to request the adjournment of the Initial Conference
currently scheduled September 4, 2024, until September 25, 2024, or a date thereafter when the
Court is available to conduct the Initial Conference. This is the parties’ first joint request to adjourn
the initial conference in this case.
As the Court knows, the parties have been engaged in briefing relating to Plaintiffs’
pending application for a preliminary injunction and the Court has scheduled a hearing concerning
Plaintiffs’ application for September 3, 2024, the day before the currently scheduled date for the
Initial Conference. The parties have been focused on preparing their respective submissions with
respect to Plaintiffs’ application for a preliminary injunction and would appreciate additional time
to meet, confer and prepare a joint proposed Civil Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order
(“CMP”) and accompanying joint letter.
Accordingly, the parties jointly respectfully request the adjournment of the Initial
Conference until September 25, 2024, or a date thereafter when the Court is available. The parties

also request the extension of the time to file a proposed CMP and accompanying joint letter until
one week before the date selected for the Initial Conference.
The parties thank the Court for its consideration of this request.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Daniel R. Perez
Daniel R. Perez
Assistant Corporation Counsel
