Civ. Case No. 3:21-cv-15333 (United States District Court, District of New Jersey)
Dear Judge Quraishi:
As you know I represent the Plaintiffs in the above-referenced matter. I write to respectfully
request an extension of time until Monday, September 20, 2021, to file Plaintiffs’ reply brief on the
pending application for temporary restraints (Dkt. No. 10). Defendants’ counsel has directed me
to communicate to you that Rutgers takes no position on this request.
Defendants filed a 29-page opposition to Plaintiffs’ application on Tuesday, September 14, 2021
(Dkt. 20). The opposition cites dozens of legal authorities which I am still reviewing, and it
requires additional legal research, including research of history that is taking longer than expected
because the materials I need are not available in online databases (e.g. Westlaw).
In light of Your Honor’s recent admonition (Dkt. No. 19, pp. 9-10) and my duty to the Court and
my clients, I am requesting this brief extension of time to complete my research and complete a
proper reply.
Thank you for your time and attention to this request.
Respectfully submitted,
Julio C. Gomez
