Re: West 60th v. Bianca Maier, et al.
Index No. 160364/2023
Adjournment Request
Honorable Justice Bluth:
I am responding to attorney Kobre’s letter requesting a second adjournment on behalf of
Respondents (the third adjournment overall). Once again, Respondent is choosing to waste the
Court’s time with his disingenuous request.
On January 9, 2024, while “strenuously oppos[ing]” my short adjournment request to
oppose his groundless sanctions motion, Respondents’ counsel wrote he would be “out of the
country on a personal matter during the week of January 22, and thus unable to prepare reply
papers . . .”. Accordingly, after my short adjournment was granted, I emailed opposing counsel
offering to stipulate to adjourn by an additional week (his current request). A copy of this
email is annexed hereto. This seemed like a win-win. An additional week would be much easier
for my schedule, and this week was allegedly of no use to him. Rather than thanking me for the
courtesy, Respondents counsel ignored my email offer. Instead, he waited until my papers were
filed and then immediately asked the Court for the same adjournment I had offered eight days
earlier. The purpose of ignoring me was obviously to prevent me from using time that he
purportedly could not use anyway.
Engaging in similar behavior, Respondents counsel ignored Petitioner’s offer to
discontinue against Drory Sr., despite Drory Sr. moving for that exact relief. Instead,
Respondents continue to waste the Court’s time.
Respondents’ opposition to our short adjournment request has been exposed as designed
to harass, and not for any legitimate litigation purposes. Delay does not prejudice Respondents,
as evidenced by their multiple adjournment requests. The fact is that Respondents obtained
notice of the application for attachment from a reporter, and therefore liquidating various
accounts including $96,377.08 in CASH from the Hapoel FE LLC accounts literally moments
before the Attachment Order was granted.

In the end, we take no position on whether the Court should grant Respondents’
adjournment request, but believe the Court should understand the behavior of counsel prior to
granting any extra time.
Respectfully,

Ethan,
I see you notified the Court that you will be out of the Country on the week of January 22, but the Court still made the
return date January 25. Would you like to try to submit a stipulation extending the return date by an additional week?
- Elie
