Re:

Osinoff v. Nuvance Health dlb/a Sharon Hospital and Tammy Cordovano
Case No. 7:22-cv-02017-KMK

Dear Judge Karas:
We represent defendants Nuvance Health and Tammy Cordovano (collectively,
"Defendants") in the above-referenced matter. We write on behalf of all parties to respectfully request
that the Court rescina. its Order, filed April 8, 2022, referring this case automatically to the Southern
District's mediation program [DE 10].
On February 14, 2022, the parties voluntarily participated in mediation before third-party
neutral Elizabeth Marcus at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") while
Plaintiffs Charge of Discrimination was pending. Despite good faith efforts by both parties, that
session ended at impasse. Plaintiff filed her lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York
shortly thereafter, and the EEOC issued a "right to sue" letter. On March 10, 2022, Defendants
removed this matter to this Court.
Although the forum has changed since their most recent negotiating session, neither of the
parties has changed their current settlement posture. At this time, the parties agree that moving the
case forward through the discovery process will be the most productive use of time before further
attempts at resolution can be made.
Accordingly, the parties request that this case be withdrawn from the Court's mediation
program. The parties are prepared to submit a jointly proposed case management plan in lieu of
mediation, and will do so at the Court's direction.
