FILED: BRONX COUNTY CLERK 11/30/2022 06:15 PM INDEX NO. 816525/2021E NYSCEF DOC. NO. 116 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 11/30/2022 SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF BRONX ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––X MARK SONNENSCHEIN and 477 WILLIS AVE LLC : : Plaintiffs, : Index No. 816525/2021E : -against- : Mot. Seq. No.: 004 : 1986-F&S OF NEW YORK, LTD., and NEW YORK: AFFIRMATION IN SUPPORT OF DEFERRED EXCHANGE CORPORATION : NEW YORK DEFERRED : EXCHANGE CORPORATION’S Defendants. : REQUEST FOR AN ADJOURNMENT ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––X HARRIS W. DAVIDSON, ESQ., an attorney duly admitted to practice before the Courts of the State of New York, hereby affirms the following to be true under penalties of perjury pursuant to CPLR 2106: 1. I am an attorney at the law firm of Rosenberg & Estis, P.C., attorneys for defendant New York Deferred Exchange Corp. (“NYDEC”). As such, I am fully familiar with the facts and circumstances set forth below. 2. This affirmation is respectfully submitted in support of NYDEC’s application for an adjournment of not less than thirty (30) days of the motion for default judgment (“Motion”) of plaintiffs Mark Sonnenschein and 477 Willis Ave LLC (“Plaintiffs”). 3. Plaintiffs filed the Motion (Mot. Seq. No. 4) on November 17, 2022, and initially made it returnable in the Motion Support Office, Room 217, on December 8, 2022. 4. The reason for this request is that the issues raised in the Motion will necessarily be decided by NYDEC’s motion to extend NYDEC’s time to respond to Plaintiffs’ complaint (Mot. Seq. No. 3), which was filed on November 10, 2022—ten (10) days prior to when Plaintiffs filed the Motion— 1 of 8 FILED: BRONX COUNTY CLERK 11/30/2022 06:15 PM INDEX NO. 816525/2021E NYSCEF DOC. NO. 116 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 11/30/2022 and which is scheduled for oral argument on December 19, 2022, in Part 32 before the Honorable Fidel E. Gomez. 5. Plaintiffs made the Motion returnable on December 8, 2022, before the first-filed Mot. Seq. No. 3 is scheduled to be argued on December 19, 2022, in an attempt to dictate the Court’s schedule, burden the Court with unnecessary motion practice, and force NYDEC to engage in extraneous and time- consuming litigation. 6. Because the issue underlying the Motion (i.e.,whether NYDEC’s motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’ complaint should be heard on the merits) will necessarily be decided on December 19, 2022, when Part 32 conducts oral argument on Mot. Seq. No. 3, it is in the interest of judicial economy to adjourn the Motion. 7. Further, for the same reason, a short adjournment of the Motion will not prejudice Plaintiffs. 8. On November 29, 2022, undersigned counsel for NYDEC emailed counsel for Plaintiffs to request a three-week adjournment of the Motion. Plaintiffs’ counsel initially responded “no problem Please add 2 weeks for a reply” and undersigned counsel prepared a stipulation in accordance with the parties’ agreement. However, shortly thereafter Plaintiffs’ counsel changed his mind, stating “We are not consenting to adjourn any motion”. A copy of the correspondence is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. 9. No prior request for an adjournment of the Motion has been previously made. 10. This request is timely made prior to NYDEC’s current deadline to respond to the Motion, pursuant to CPLR 2214(b), which is presently December 1, 2022. 11. For the reasons set forth above, an adjournment of not less than thirty (30) days is respectfully requested. Dated: New York, New York November 30, 2022 HARRIS W.
