The Honorable Judge Jesse M. Furman United States District Judge Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse 40 Foley Square New York, NY 10007 Re: Intl FCStone Markets, LLC V. Agro Santino OOD, No. 1:20cv2658 Dear Judge Furman: We represent the Plaintiff Intl FCStone Markets, LLC, in the above-referenced matter.

We write in response to Your Honor’s June 11, 2020, Order (Dkt. 9) and respectfully request in accordance with Your Honor’s Individual Rules of Civil Practice Rule 1(E) an adjournment of the initial pretrial conference, which is currently scheduled for June 25, 2020, at 4pm.

Plaintiff is in the process of attempting to effect service of process on Agro Santino under the Convention of 15 November 1965 on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters (the “Hague Convention”).

We understand that Bulgaria requires that service be effected under a strict procedure and the highest level of formality under Article 5(a) of the Hague Convention whereby service can only be effected through the Bulgarian Ministry of Justice.

For this reason, in addition to COVID-19 and attendant limitations on relevant operations of the authorized bodies, service is taking longer than ordinarily expected.

JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge: In light of the COVID-19 situation, the Court will not hold the upcoming conference in this case in person.

Counsel should submit their proposed case management plan and joint letter by the Thursday prior to the conference, as directed in the Court’s earlier Scheduling Order.

If so, the Court may enter a case management plan and scheduling order and the parties need not appear.

If not, the Court will hold the initial conference by telephone, albeit perhaps at a different time.

In either case, counsel should review and comply with the Court’s Emergency Individual Rules and Practices in Light of COVID-19, available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-jesse-m-furman.
