Bitterman provided no details, did not link those matters to the period when his response was due, or explain why he could not have filed a simple motion for an extension of time. See In re Hochbaum, 649 Fed.Appx. 80, 84 (2d Cir. 2016). We also do not treat Bitterman's lack of experience in this Court as a mitigating factor, since it is not clear why it might excuse his failure to comply with clear directives of this Court or his failure to respond to messages left by Court employees.
However, the serious nature of Sanchez's misconduct, and the public's strong interest in disciplinary matters, lead us to conclude that a public reprimand is warranted. See In re Hochbaum, 649 Fed.Appx. 80, 84 (2d Cir. 2016) ("Because of the public's strong interest in disciplinary proceedings, disciplinary dispositions should be public unless the misconduct was minor or there are significant mitigating circumstances.").
Additionally, she has not presented us with any medical evidence beyond her sworn allegations in her response. See In re Hochbaum, 649 F. App'x 80, 84 (2d Cir. 2016) (discussing failure to link attorney's medical condition to specific instances of misconduct and failure to provide medical corroboration). Nonetheless, we accept Addison's sworn allegations about her medical and family issues as providing at least partial mitigation. Upon due consideration of the above matters, it is hereby ORDERED that Addison is PUBLICLY REPRIMANDED for her misconduct in this Court.
