May 26, 2021 Via ECF Honorable Lewis J. Liman United States District Court Southern District of New York 500 Pearl Street New York, NY 10007 Re: □ Derrel Keddo v. G.O & B. LLC d/b/a International House of Pancakes, et al. Case No. 21-CV-01875 (LJL) Dear Judge Liman: Our office represents Plaintiff Derrel Keddo in this matter. After reviewing Defendants’ Motion to Compel Arbitration with our client, along with the Arbitration Agreement, Plaintiff consents to voluntarily withdrawing his claims from court and proceeding in Arbitration. We thank the Court for its time and attention to this matter. Very truly yours, Akin Law Group PLLC /s/ Robert D. Salaman Robert D. Salaman ce: Counsel for Defendants (via ECF)

Given the parties’ agreement to submit the claims to arbitration, the motion to compel arbitration is DENIED as MOOT. Dkt. No. 22. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close Dkt. No. 22. As Defendants have requested a stay of the proceedings, the case will remain STAYED during the arbitration proceedings. See Katz v. Cellco Partnership,

(2d Cir. 2015) ("[T]he FAA mandate[s] a stay of proceedings when all of the claims in an action have been referred to arbitration and a stay [1s] requested.") SO ORDERED. 6/2/2021. BAAD. LEWIS4.LIMAN United Bee District Judge
