COUNTY OF KINGS
Amy L. Insler, Esq., an attorney at law duly admitted to practice law before the Courts of
the State of New York, hereby affirms the following to be true upon information and belief under
the penalties of perjury:
1. I am an associate of the law firm of Bonina & Bonina, P.C., attorneys for the
plaintiff in the above named action.
2. This action was commenced by the filing of a Summons and Verified Complaint
with the New York County Clerk’s Office on February 25, 2014. Issue was joined by defendants
on May 21, 2014.
3. Thereafter your Affirmant’s office prepared and served Verified Bills of
Particulars, Exchanges of Medical Information, Response to Combined Demands and numerous
discovery demands.
4. The law firm of Bonina & Bonina, P.C. does not wish to continue as the plaintiffs’
attorneys due to issues that have arisen. We do not wish to expand upon these differences in
{00085518}papers which defense counsel will have access to in the Court file. Should the Court desire, we
would gladly provide further details, in camera, as to the reasons for our request.
5. It is therefore respectfully requested that this Court grant permission for the law
office of Bonina & Bonina, P.C., to be relieved and withdraw as plaintiffs’ counsel in this action
and that plaintiffs be given a period of sixty (60) days to consult with and engage a new attorney on
this matter.
6. Our office has previously discussed the issues which have given rise to this
application with Maximina Torres and Jahmal Sauve.
7. No prior application for this relief has been requested.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that the plaintiffs’ Order to Show Cause be
granted in its entirety and for such other and further relief as to this Court may seem just and
proper.
