Mr. Ruth:

Case: 1:20-cv-03758 Document #: 113-1 Filed: 08/24/22 Page 3 of 7 PageID #:2842
We cannot agree to 90 days and I think the Court will not give you that. I can agree to 30, but not

more than that. If you cannot accept that I will file a proposed briefing schedule for the 15 days

noting your non-agreement.

Thanks,

A
