Re: State of New York et al. v. U.S. Department of Education et al.,
No. 25 Civ. 2990 (ER)
Dear Judge Ramos:
I write respectfully pursuant to Local Rule 1.4 for the Court’s leave to withdraw as counsel
for the Defendants in the above-referenced matter. The reason for this request is that I am leaving
the Department of Justice. Defendants will continue to be represented by other counsel from the
U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York who have appeared in this matter.
My withdrawal as an attorney of record will not affect any deadlines or cause any delay in this
matter. Accordingly, I respectfully request that the Court grant my request to withdraw as counsel
of record.
I thank the Court for considering this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
JAY CLAYTON
United States Attorney
