Re: Vuppala v. Sabharwal Hospitality Group LLC, d/b/a Pippali, et al. Case 1:19-cv-08614-PAE-BCM
Dear Judge Moses:
The undersigned represents the Plaintiff in the above-captioned case matter.
Due to the ongoing national health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the mandated closure/“PAUSE” of non-essential public businesses in New York City, which has adversely affected the business in this matter, it is very difficult for the parties to proceed in this matter with discovery and productive settlement negotiations at this time.
Therefore, Plaintiff’s undersigned counsel hereby respectfully requests that the Court grant an additional thirty (30) day stay of all deadlines and/or any Conference in this matter, which would also coincide with the recent New York “PAUSE” extension until May 15, 2020. The undersigned has conferred with opposing counsel who consents to this request.
The Court may wish to note that this is undersigned counsel's first request to stay this matter. Thank you for your consideration of this unfortunate, but necessary request. Sincerely,
Application DENIED. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Court has already extended the By: /S/ B. Bradley Weitz . deadline for fact discovery to July 2, 2020, and B. Bradley Weitz, Esq. (BW 9365) authorized the taking of depositions by remote THE WEITZ LAW FIRM, P.A. means. (Dkt. Nos. 22, 23.) Virtually all New 18305 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 214 York businesses are "adversely affected" by the pandemic and by the public health measures Aventura, Florida 33160 now in place. Plaintiff has made no showing, Tel.: (305) 949-7777 however, that the parties in this action are Fax: (305) 704-3877 uniquely affected, nor that they are "unable" to Email: bbw@weitzfirm.com conduct discovery or settlement negotiations. In
the absence of such a showing, the Court
expects the parties to meet this Court's already-
extended deadlines. SO ORDERED.
