VEZ ER EE United States Attorney Southern District of New York Chambers Stree SO ORDERED. New York, New York 10007 NNIFER L Kickez November 21, 2025 United States District Judge Request GRANTED. The initial pretrial conference Via ECF is rescheduled for December 22, 2025 at 11:00 AM Honorable Jennifer L. Rochon United States District Judge Date: November 24, 2025 Southern District of New York New York, New York Pearl Street New York, New York 10007 Re: Dunlap, as Executor of the Estate of Mayer v. United States of America, No. 25 Civ. 2942 (JLR) Dear Judge Rochon: This Office represents the United States of America, the defendant in the above- referenced tax refund action.

I write respectfully to request an adjournment of the initial conference currently scheduled for December 2, 2025, until a date after the United States’ deadline to respond to the complaint.

Pursuant to the Amended Standing Order issued by Chief Judge Swain on October 2, 2025, this case was stayed and all deadlines were tolled for the duration of the lapse in appropriations to the Department of Justice. See In re: Stay of Certain Civil Cases Pending the Restoration of Department of Justice Funding, No. 25 Misc. 433, Dkt. No. 3 (S.D.N.Y. entered Oct. 2, 2025). Accordingly, the United States’ deadline for its response to the complaint—which was previously October 28, 2025—1s now December 10, 2025.

The United States respectfully requests that the Court adjourn the initial pretrial conference in this matter currently scheduled for December 2, 2025, until a date after December 10, 2025, and to extend the time for the parties to file the joint letter and proposed case management plan until 10 days before the rescheduled conference date.

This is the United States’ third request for an adjournment of the initial pretrial conference. The earlier requests, made along with requests to extend its deadline to respond to the complaint, were granted. See Dkt. Nos. 10, 12. Additionally, during the government shutdown, the Court sua sponte adjourned the initial conference from November 18, 2025, until December 2, 2025. See Dkt. No. 13.

Plaintiff consents to this request.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Respectfully submitted, JAY CLAYTON United States Attorney By: /s/ Samuel Dolinger SAMUEL DOLINGER Assistant United States Attorney Chambers Street, 3rd Floor New York, New York 10007 Tel.: (212) 637-2677 [email protected] cc: Counsel of record (via ECF)
