Re: Appeal of Giardina (Bedford Central School District)
Dear Ms. Gammon:
This letter will confirm that on Friday, January 27,
2006, I spoke to Pat Bailey of your office who consented my request for
an extension of Respondents' time to submit opposing papers to
petitioner's application for a stay in the above-captioned appeal.
A copy of this letter is being sent to Joseph P.
Giardina by first-class mail.
