Re: Project Veritas et al. v. O’Keefe et al., No. 23-CV-04533-CS-AEK
(S.D.N.Y.)
Dear Judge Seibel:
I write on behalf of Plaintiffs Project Veritas and Project Veritas Action Fund
(collectively, “Plaintiffs”), in accordance with Sections 1.A and 1.E of Your Honor’s
Individual Rules of Practice, to request an adjournment of the case management
conference currently scheduled to take place before Your Honor on March 20, 2025
(Dkt. 68 at ¶ 8).
On March 10, 2025, the parties appeared before the Honorable Andrew E.
Krause, U.S.M.J., for a status conference, during which Plaintiffs requested a ninetyday extension of the current deadline for the close of fact discovery, in part, to
accommodate Plaintiffs’ recent change in counsel. Defendants James O’Keefe and
Transparency 1, LLC d/b/a O’Keefe Media Group (collectively, “Defendants”) did not
oppose, and Judge Krause granted, Plaintiffs’ request for an extension. The parties
continue to discuss settlement of this matter and Plaintiffs anticipate voluntarily
dismissing their claims against Defendants upon receipt of a signed stipulation of
dismissal from Defendants.
In view of the above, Plaintiffs respectfully submit that good cause exists for
the requested adjournment, and respectfully request that the Court grant the
requested adjournment. This is Plaintiffs’ first request for an adjournment of the
March 20, 2025 case management conference.
Respectfully Submitted,

Michael J. Harris
