Re: Pateman v. City of White Plains
Index No. 17 CV 6156
Your Honor:
Enclosed herewith is a courtesy copy of the parties’ Proposed Joint Pretrial Order in the
above referenced matter.
Additionally, the parties have conferred regarding the potential conference with the Court
in the event the parties are not able to resolve their discovery dispute. Unfortunately, counsel are
unavailable on the date proposed by the Court (July 14). The parties have conferred and July 17,
2020 is available for all parties at any time.
Finally, the parties jointly request that the time for filing joint jury instructions and a
verdict form be extended to thirty days before trial. Given the standing order from the Southern
District suspending all civil trials, we believe that such an extension would better conform to the
eventual trial date. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Very truly yours,
NEWMAN FERRARA, LLP
