Because of the imminent reassignment of the bulk of this Court's calendar to its colleagues under this District Court's customary computer-driven random assignment system that applies whenever any of its judges leaves the court, and as this Court must do because of its recent surgery and the ongoing rehabilitative process, Diamond's counsel is ordered to file a response to the Motion on or before [21 days]. Resolution of the Motion (which may or may not call for a reply by Sid) will be left to the assignee judge. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 8/24/2017:Mailed notice(clw, )
