We are writing to request an extension of the deadline to file a Cheeks Motion, moving it from December 3, 2024, to December 16, 2024. This extension is necessary to address an unresolved issue that arose after mediation, which may affect the settlement. This is the Plaintiffs first request for an extension of the Cheeks Motion deadline. Although we have not obtained the Defendants’ consent, we attempted to do so by calling their counsel twice today and leaving messages requesting a return call. Thank you for your consideration.

Very truly yours, s/Fausto E. Zapata, Jr. Fausto E. Zapata, Jr.
