-v.18 Civ. 3698 (LGS) (GWG)
THE CITY OF NEW YORK, et al.,
Defendants.

---------------------------------------------------------------x
GABRIEL W. GORENSTEIN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
With regard to plaintiffs letter of November 12, 2019 (Docket# 273), the Court rules as
follows.
1.

The application to expand initial interrogatories beyond the scope of Local Civil Rule
33.3(a) is denied. In light of this ruling, it is unclear whether plaintiff still requires an
extension of the deadline for service of the initial interrogatories. Nonetheless, the Court
will extend the current deadline by one week to December 9, 2019.

2.

As to future interrogatories after service of the initial interrogatories, the Court expects
both sides to comply with the limitation on numbers contained in Fed. R. Civ. P.
33(a)(l). If either side, after serving interrogatories compliant with that rule (and, of
course, compliant with Local Civil Rule 33.3(b)), believes it has a basis for seeking a
court order permitting service of more than 25 interrogatories, it should supply the
proposed additional interrogatories to the other side and, if agreement cannot be reached,
may make an application to the Court in conformity with paragraph 2.A of the Court's
Individual Practices.

3.

All other requests for relief are denied.
