Lastra v. City Of New York et al

Filing 93

MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER: Therefore, the Magistrate Judge's Order is not clearly erroneous or contrary to law. The Court is confident that the Magistrate Judge will be able to deal with the positions of the parties in a reasonable and sensitiv e way. The Court appreciates that the schedule set by the Magistrate Judge will need to be adjusted because of the delay occasioned by these objections. The Court leaves further scheduling to the Magistrate Judge. Korenbaum also asked that the withd rawal motion be heard by another Magistrate Judge so that Magistrate Judge Lehrburger would not hear the matters in the disqualification motion and then continue to preside over the case. There is no basis for transfer at this time. Disqualification may be raised if matters addressed in the withdrawal motion provide a basis for disqualification. Making a motion for withdrawal should not be the basis for disqualification or to transfer the motion. The objections are overruled. (Signed by Judge John G. Koeltl on 3/26/2018) (mml)
