SO ORDERED. outhern District of New Yor Dated: May 31, 2023 Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse Y Aor CH □□□□□□ 500 Pearl St. New York, NY 10007-1312 Re: Rossete et al v. Hong Kong Kitchen (USA) Inc. et al Civil Docket No.: 22-cv-03049 (SDA) Dear Judge Aaron: We represent the Plaintiffs in this FLSA action, and we respectfully submit this joint letter motion, together with counsel for the Defendants, to respectfully request an extension of time for the parties to file their proposed settlement agreement, and Motion for Court approval pursuant to Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc.,
796 F.3d 199(2d Cir. 2015), and inclusive of the factors as set forth in Wolinsky v. Scholastic Inc.,
900 F. Supp. 2d 332, 335-36(S.D.N.Y. 2012). On May 17, 2023, the court directed, inter alia, that: “the parties must file a joint letter or motion that addresses whether the settlement is fair and reasonable. Any such letter or motion shall be filed by Wednesday, May 31, 2023...” (see Dkt. No. 45). The Court had directed the parties to do so by today, and it has become apparent that the parties will require some additional time to do so. Notwithstanding, our office circulated a proposed settlement for Defendants’ review on May 18, 2023, and we are awaiting same from counsel, who is working diligently with his clients towards that end so that the agreement can be finalized for signatures. As stated above, counsel for all the Defendants herein consent to this request, and this is the parties’ first such request on this matter. The parties reasonably anticipate approximately two (2) additional weeks to be sufficient to complete this process at this time, and propose June 14, 2023, as the date by which the parties shall do so. This request will not affect any other dates or deadlines.
