Re: Allen Degroat v. Instrument Laboratory Company
Docket No. : 23-cv-07490 (KMK)
Dear Judge Karas:
This firm represents Plaintiff Allen Degroat, who brought the above-referenced
matter against Defendant Instrumentation Laboratory Company for alleged violations of
New York Labor Law § 191. Plaintiff writes, on behalf of all parties, to report that the
parties have reached a settlement in principle in this matter earlier today. The parties intend
to submit their stipulation of dismissal by March 21, 2024 (i.e. within 45 days).
At present, there are two outstanding litigation deadlines. Defendant filed a motion
to dismiss the Amended Complaint or to stay this action, as well as a related motion
requesting that the Court take judicial notice of certain documents. D.E. 22-25. Plaintiffs
opposition papers to Defendant's motions are currently due on February 5, 2024 and
Defendant's reply papers are due on February 27, 2024. In light of the parties' settlement
in principle, the parties request that all deadlines in this case be stayed or, alternatively,
cancelled, pending the parties' submission of a stipulation of discontinuance.
We thank the Court for its kind consideration of this request.
Respectfully submitted,
/S/ David D. Barnhorn. Esq.
DAVID D. _BARNHORN, ESQ.
