ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Lorna G. Schofield from Simon Miller dated 6/3/2015 re: Counsel states that the Court extended defendant Felix Sater's time to submit response from May 29, 2015 to June 2, 2015 with our reply due on June 9, 2015. Accordingly, our reply to the Bayrock Defendants' Response is currently due on June 5, 2015 and to Defendant Sater's on June 9, 2015. Since we believe that it is more efficient for the Court to receive a single reply addressing the arguments raised by both defendant groups rather than two separate submissions, we respectfully submit that it makes sense to make the deadlines for our replies the same. ENDORSEMENT: Application DENIED as unnecessary. The memo endorsement dated June 1, 2015, already provides that any replies shall be filed by June 9, 2015. For clarity: the controlling deadline for all replies is June 9, 2015. The Clerk of Court shall file this order in 10 Civ. 3959 and 13 Civ. 3905. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 6/3/2015) (mro) (Entered: 06/04/2015)
