`Re:
`
`Phase One Network, Inc. v. Ye f/k/a Kanye West d/b/a “Yeezy Tech”, et al
`Case No. 1:2022-cv-09511
`
`Hon. Judge Parker:
`
`We are litigation counsel for the plaintiff, Phase One Network, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) in the
`above-referenced action. We write pursuant to Rules I(b) and (c) of Your Honor’s Individual
`Practices to request an extension of time of the Case Management Conference currently scheduled
`for August 8, 2023 at 10:45 a.m. [Dkt. No. 83].
`
`Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint, filed on or about June 23, 2023 (the “Motion to
`Dismiss”).
`
`On June 20, 2023, the Court scheduled a Case Management Conference for August 8, 2023
`at 10:45 a.m. (the “August 8th Case Management Conference”). Plaintiff now requests an
`adjournment of the August 8th Case Management Conference to September 19, 2023, i.e. six (6)
`weeks. This will be the first adjournment of a case management conference in this case. One
`previous request for an adjournment was made, as Defendants Ye f/k/a Kanye West d/b/a “Yeezy
`Tech”, Getting Out Our Dreams II, LLC, and Getting Out Our Dreams, Inc. a/k/a G.O.O.D.
`Music (collectively “Ye Defendants”), previously requested an adjournment of the Initial Case
`Management Conference, which Plaintiff opposed, and which was denied by the Court. [Dkt No.
`54].
`
`The reason for this request is, given that the briefing schedule as to Ye Defendants’ motion
`to dismiss was extended [Dkt. No. 90], and Plaintiff recently served its first set of discovery
`demands on Ye Defendants on July 25, 2023, it would be more fruitful to hold a case management
`conference in mid-September, at which point there will be more for the parties to report to the
`Court. Further, Plaintiff and Ye Defendants are continuing to engage in informal settlement
`discussions and believe that an adjournment of the August 8th Case Management Conference will

`
`be beneficial in that regard. This extension request does not affect any other scheduled dates in
`this matter.
`
`Counsel for Plaintiff and Ye Defendants have conferred and Ye Defendants are in
`agreement with the extension request.
`
`Further, good cause exists for this request to be granted although the request was not made
`48 hours prior to the conference, because upon preparation for the conference, the parties agreed
`that there was not a substantial amount of information to report to the Court and that in the interest
`of judicial economy the request for an adjournment should be made.
`
`We greatly appreciate the Court’s time and consideration, and should the Court need any
`additional information we are available at the Court’s convenience.
`
`Respectfully Submitted,
`
`ADELMAN MATZ P.C.
