Smolen v. Nevins, 17 Civ 7494 (PMH)

Dear Judge Halpern:
This Office represents Defendants in the above-referenced matter. I write to respectfully
request that the Telephone Conference currently scheduled for May 18, 2021 at 12:30 p.m., be
rescheduled to a later date convenient for the Court.
Our Office has just been forwarded a letter written by Plaintiff indicating that he is not well
enough to participate in the upcoming conference (which he refers to as a “deposition”) because
he is suffering from a severe chest infection and coughing fits. (See Plaintiff’s Letter, attached
hereto as Exhibit A). In the letter, Plaintiff asks that the conference be rescheduled to late July or
early August. Defendants’ counsel is available at the Court’s convenience.
We thank the Court for its attention to this matter.

Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Amanda Yoon
