UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
-------------------------------------------X
Samuel Small,
Plaintiff,
-against-

09 Civ. 1912 (DAB)
ORDER

New York City Dep’t
of Correction, et al.,
Defendants.
------------------------------------------X
DEBORAH A. BATTS, United States District Judge.
The Court is in receipt of an email dated December 4, 2019
from a purported law student intern. 1 It is inappropriate for
the students to be corresponding directly with the Court and not
through Plaintiff’s attorney, Brett Dignam. Once the students
have reviewed their questions with Professor Brett Dignam, if
she believes that the Court’s Individual Rules, which have been
in existence for at least 15 years, are not understandable, she
herself should make that representation to the Court.

The student has not yet been authorized by this Court to
appear or prepare documents on behalf of Plaintiff in this
case.

Finally, the Court is in receipt of Letters from the Parties
dated December 4, 2019 and December 9, 2019. (ECF Nos. 259 &
261.) The request for multiple short adjournments, which would
have the Parties diligently working over the Christmas break, is
DENIED. The due date for all material, which should be filed
together, is February 24, 2020.

SO ORDERED.
DATED:

December 9, 2019
