71 Monument Park Docket No. MON-L- 001152-22
Freehold, New Jersey 07728 Joint Letter Request By Counsel To Adjourn
April 14, 2023 Reconsideration Return Date To
Following Week
Dear Judge McCarthy:
The undersigned represents the Plaintiffs who are jointly referred to for ease of
reference as “FF/Jones’. The Defendants are referred to jointly as “Nassau/Mercatanti”.
The Court has within the past hour notified both counsel of its intention to address the
Plaintiffs’ Motion for Reconsideration via Zoom video on Friday, April 14, 2023. For the
reasons which follow, FF/Jones requests that oral argument via Zoom video be
rescheduled to the following week on Wednesday (4/19), Thursday (4/20), or on April
21, 2023, if possible.
The reason for this request for a brief adjournment is because | will out of State
from Thursday, April 13 to Tuesday, April 18, 2023 to attend a family wedding in Florida.
The plane tickets and other reservations have been obtained and the bride-to-be is my
god-daughter. | promised her | would be at the wedding and | simply cannot afford to
miss the wedding. Also, | cannot guarantee that | will have zoom access on Friday
because the celebration begins on Thursday with certain other festivities being
scheduled to take place on Friday. The wedding is on Saturday April 15, 2023 and most
of my family including relatives and extended family members who | have not seen in a
number of years will be in attendance. | will return to the office in the late afternoon on
Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
Yesterday, April 17, 2023, | notified my adversary, Barbara Boyd, Esq. and
requested her consent to extend the Motion return date for one week. Ms. Boyd advised
MON-L-001522-22 04/11/2023 1:54:51 PM Pg2of4 Trans ID: LCV20231239165
me that she consents to this request for an adjournment; however, she would prefer that
the Motion be decided next week after | return to the office. This is why Ms. Boyd
proposed several alternative hearing dates from Wednesday, April 19, 2023 to Friday
April 21, 2023 assuming the availability of the Court on these new proposed dates.
Obviously, the parties do not dictate the Court’s schedule but Ms. Boyd’s request makes
sense to me.
| thank Your Honor and Ms. Boyd in advance for your courtesies. | have also
taken the liberty to attach a copy of my ticket confirmation for Thursday's fight to Florida.
Respectfully submitted,
_—s—
