Todd E. Soloway Partner Direct Tel: 212-326-0252 tsoloway@pryorcashman.com April 3, 2023 VIA NYSCEF Hon. Joel M. Cohen, J.S.C. Supreme Court of the State of New York Commercial Division 60 Centre Street, Courtroom 208 New York, New York 10007 Re: Tekiner v. Bremen House Inc. et al., Index No. 657193/2020 Dear Justice Cohen: As counsel for Defendants, we write in response to the letter electronically filed this afternoon by Anthony Harwood, Esq., counsel for Plaintiffs, in which Mr. Harwood requests that the Court exclude Defendants and their counsel from the hearing on the motions to withdraw. (Dkt. No. 1502.) Defendants object to the sealing of the hearing on the motions to withdraw. Plaintiffs recently filed a Notice of Appeal from the Court’s Decision and Order on Motion dated February 21, 2023 in connection with Motion Sequence Nos. 42, 44, 45, 46 and 47. In those motions, Defendants put “at-issue” the cause for the delay in taking discovery and now, apparently, intend appeal this Court’s order. Accordingly, Defendants intend to move this Court for an order unsealing and/or un-redacting the documents filed by Plaintiffs and all Plaintiffs’ counsel in connection with the pending motions to withdraw as they relate to the causes of delays in taking discovery pre-Note of Issue. Defendants intend to appear in person at the hearing on April 14 (we note that the original return date of April 6 was adjourned in light of the Passover holiday). Respectfully submitted, Todd E. Soloway cc: Counsel of Record (via NYSCEF)
