Brathwaite v. Wallace, et al. C.A. No. 04-1542-GMS

Dear Judge Sleet, I write regarding the above captioned case, Brathwaite v. Wallace, C.A. No. 04-1542GMS, in which I agreed to represent the plaintiff Kevin C. Brathwaite pursuant to a referral from the Federal Civil Panel. Susan Coletti of my office will also participate in the representation, and has filed an appropriate appearance concurrently with this letter. This letter provides a status report following my recent meeting with Mr. Brathwaite to discuss the case. Mr. Brathwaite recently filed a motion for a trial date. (D.I. 120.) By this letter, we respectfully withdraw that motion at this time, and instead request that pretrial and trial dates be set at the Court's convenience following a discovery period of approximately six months. Mr. Brathwaite has served one set of document requests, but we are informed that no documents have yet been produced by Defendants. We anticipate that the six month period will allow us to supplement such requests, obtain relevant documents, and conduct depositions. We have spoken with counsel for Defendants, and have been informed that the Defendants do not oppose this request for a six-month discovery period. We are available at the Court's convenience to discuss these scheduling issues or any other issues. Respectfully, /s/ Timothy Devlin Timothy Devlin TXD:jrm cc: Ophelia M. Waters, Esq. (via email)
