Patsy's Brand, Inc. v. I.O.B. Realty, Inc., et al

Filing 485

ORDER By 12:00 p.m. on September 25, 2024, the parties are ordered to contact the Court Reporters Office to order same-day transcripts of Thursday's hearing. The Court notes that because this is the week of the United Nations General Assembly, traffic is unusually congested in Manhattan. The parties and counsel are required to allow time to arrive in court by 9:30 a.m. The Court counsels the parties to consult traffic sites and to plan for ample time to arrive in the courtroom by 9:30 a .m. No excuse for lateness is likely to be honored, because anyone arriving late will have planned poorly, and because everyone else in court will have wasted valuable time waiting for him/her. If any person's absence delays the start of the hearing, the Court is likely to deduct the amount of the delay from the time allowed for his/her counsel's examination. Unless the Court grants an extension, the following states time limits for examination of witnesses at the September 26, 2 024 hearing: Plaintiff's counsel shall be allowed one hour for cross-examination of Frank Brija, and shall be allowed one half hour for cross-examination of each additional witness Plaintiff calls to the stand. Defendants' counsel shall b e allowed one half hour for re-direct examination of Frank Brija and 15 minutes for re-direct examination of each additional witness cross-examined by Plaintiffs counsel. Plaintiff's counsel shall be allowed 15 minutes for re-cross examination of each witness who gave re-direct testimony. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Kimba M. Wood on 9/24/2024) (jca)

By 12:00 p.m. on September 25, 2024, the parties are ordered to contact the Court
Reporters Office to order same-day transcripts of Thursday’s hearing.
The Court notes that because this is the week of the United Nations General Assembly,
traffic is unusually congested in Manhattan. The parties and counsel are required to allow time
to arrive in court by 9:30 a.m. The Court counsels the parties to consult traffic sites and to plan
for ample time to arrive in the courtroom by 9:30 a.m. No excuse for lateness is likely to be
honored, because anyone arriving late will have planned poorly, and because everyone else in
court will have wasted valuable time waiting for him/her. If any person’s absence delays the
start of the hearing, the Court is likely to deduct the amount of the delay from the time
allowed for his/her counsel’s examination.

Unless the Court grants an extension, the following states time limits for examination of
witnesses at the September 26, 2024 hearing:
ㅡ Plaintiff’s counsel shall be allowed one hour for cross-examination of Frank
Brija, and shall be allowed one half hour for cross-examination of each
additional witness Plaintiff calls to the stand.
ㅡ Defendants’ counsel shall be allowed one half hour for re-direct examination of
Frank Brija and 15 minutes for re-direct examination of each additional witness
cross-examined by Plaintiff’s counsel.

SO ORDERED.
