Date Filed Document Text
December 13, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 11 ORDER granting #10 Letter Motion for Extension of Time to Answer re #10 FIRST LETTER MOTION for Extension of Time to File Answer nunc pro tunc and to adjourn conference sine die addressed to Judge Valerie E. Caproni from Susan J. Weiswasser dated 12/13/23., #8 Complaint. Application GRANTED. Defendants' response to the complaint must be filed no later than February 22, 2024, non pro tunc. The Initial Pretrial Conference scheduled for January 26, 2024 is adjourned sine die. The parties' joint status letter must be filed no later than February 22, 2024. The Court reminds Defendants of Rule 2.C. of the Undersigne's Individual Practices, which requires that adjournments or extensions of time requests be made at least 48 business hours prior to the due date. Absent extenuating circumstances, the Court is unlikely to grant such extraordinarily tardy requests again. The parties are advised that, at any time, they may submit a joint request for referral to the assigned Magistrate Judge or to the court-annexed mediation program for a settlement conference if they believe a referral would advance the prospect of settlement. SO ORDERED. New York City Department of Education answer due 2/22/2024. (Signed by Judge Valerie E. Caproni on 12/13/2023) (tg)
