The State of New York Ex Rel Vinod Khurana et al v. Spherion Corp

Filing 185

ORDER. Today, the Court received a query by voicemail regarding the details of any potential bench trial. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise (after consulting with the parties), the Court contemplates a bench trial to occur in court, not remotely. Accordingly, any such trial would not be held until conditions allow for an in-person trial to be conducted safely. If the parties feel that there is a need for a conference to clarify or discuss the proposed bench trial further, they sh ould so advise the Court by letter-motion filed on ECF. The parties are reminded that requests for a conference (or any other substantive communications) should be made by letter on ECF not by voicemail in accordance with the Court's Individual Rules and Practices. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 4/29/20) (yv)

ORDER

JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge:
Today, the Court received a query by voicemail regarding the details of any potential
bench trial. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise (after consulting with the parties), the
Court contemplates a bench trial to occur in court, not remotely. Accordingly, any such trial
would not be held until conditions allow for an in-person trial to be conducted safely.
If the parties feel that there is a need for a conference to clarify or discuss the proposed
bench trial further, they should so advise the Court by letter-motion filed on ECF. The parties
are reminded that requests for a conference (or any other substantive communications) should be
made by letter on ECF — not by voicemail — in accordance with the Court’s Individual Rules
and Practices.

SO ORDERED.
Dated: April 29, 2020
New York, New York
