BARBARA MOSES, United States Magistrate Judge.
The district judge has referred this action to me for a report and recommendation on
statutory damages, attorneys' fees, and costs. For the reasons discussed during today's telephonic
conference, I will not finalize the schedule or procedures for that phase of the case until the
district judge has resolved the pending motion (Dkt. No. 299) for reconsideration of portions of
her September 22, 2021 Amended Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law (Dkt. No. 292) and
for clarification of my reference. The parties are directed to contact chambers within one week
after the reconsideration/clarification motion is decided to schedule a conference. At that time I
will give the parties a briefing schedule and – unless the district judge has already resolved the
question – will determine whether they will be permitted to submit additional evidence for the
purpose of litigating the statutory damages issue. Plaintiff's application for attorneys' fees and
costs, which will require evidence, will be due after statutory damages are determined.
Dated: New York, New York
October 12, 2021

SO ORDERED.
