UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
EDREWEENE RAYMOND, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
against

CIVIL ACTION NO.: 15 Civ. 6885 (LTS) (SLC)

THE CITY OF NEW YORK, et al.,

ORDER

Defendants.

SARAH L. CAVE, United States Magistrate Judge.
This case has been pending since 2015. (ECF No. 1). The current fact discovery deadline
is January 10, 2020 (ECF No. 144), but the parties seem to be stalled in discovery. Pending
before the Court is Plaintiffs’ motion to compel and for sanctions (ECF No. 126), but on
December 2, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a letter-motion for a discovery conference (ECF No. 151),
anticipating a second motion to compel and for sanctions on related matters. This comes just
after the Court held a conference on November 25, 2019 (ECF No. 149), to resolve outstanding
discovery disputes not raised in Plaintiffs’ motion to compel at ECF No. 126.
To productively and efficiently move the case to the end of fact discovery, Plaintiffs are
ORDERED to file, by Friday, December 13, 2019, a new motion to compel and for sanctions,
encompassing all allegations laid out in ECF Nos. 126, 150, and 151, limited to fifteen (15)
pages. Defendants’ response, also limited to fifteen (15) pages must be filed by Monday,
December 30, 2019. Plaintiffs’ reply, if any, limited to seven (7) pages, must be filed by
Tuesday, January 7, 2020.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ Letter-Motion to file a new motion for sanctions (ECF No. 150) is
granted; Letter-Motion for a discovery conference (ECF No. 151) is denied; and Letter-Motion
to compel and for sanctions (ECF No. 126) is terminated as moot. All discovery deadlines are
adjourned sine die.
The Clerk is respectfully directed to close ECF Nos. 126, 150, and 151.

Dated:

New York, New York
December 3, 2019
SO ORDERED
