Perry-Bond Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York 60 Centre Street, Courtroom 252 New York, NY 10007 [email protected] RE: Jane Doe v. Cornell University, Inc. et al || Index No. 161704/2026 Dear Justice Perry-Bond: I write on behalf of non-party Matthew Ingalls who shares the same name as one of the Defendants in this action. On September 16, 2026, Plaintiff filed a Request for Judicial Intervention (“RJI”) (Dkt. 6) including which contained an address for the family of non-party Matthew Ingalls. Plaintiff’s counsel has acknowledged the incorrect address and since filed an Amended RJI containing a different address for Matthew Ingalls (Dkt. 22). Non-Party Matthew Ingalls identified in the initial RJI is a Servicemember in the United States Marine Corps and has never been to Cornell University. He was stationed at a military base in North Carolina on the date which is the subject of this action. Nonetheless, due to the incorrect address contained in the initial RJI, Mr. Ingalls and his family have been the subject of continued and ongoing harassment, including death threats from members of the public. Telephone numbers for Mr. Ingalls family have also been published resulting in the family of Mr. Ingalls receiving ongoing and continued threatening calls directed at the family of a non-involved and wrongfully identified person. Mr. Ingalls and his family are in fear for their safety and have required the presence of law enforcement at the address incorrectly included on the RJI to protect them. As such, the continued inclusion on NYSCEF of an incorrect address for Matthew Ingalls is causing great hardship to the family of an active United States Servicemember who has absolutely no connection or involvement to this matter. We respectfully request that the original Request for Judicial Intervention (“RJI”)(Dkt. 6) be stricken from the record or that the incorrect address for Matthew Ingalls be redacted from that document to alleviate the fallout to Mr. Ingalls and his family have been subjected from the unfortunate situation of having their address incorrectly associated with this matter. We thank the Court for its consideration. Respectfully submitted, Elliot A. Hallak FILED: NEW YORK COUNTY CLERK 10/06/2026 03:37 PM INDEX NO. 161704/2026 NYSCEF DOC.
