GABRIEL W. GORENSTEIN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
With regard to defendants' letter of February 27, 2020 (Docket# 319), the Court rules as
follows.
1.

The deadline for plaintiff to file his proposed motion to amend the complaint is set for
March 16, 2020. Any opposition is due 14 days after the motion is filed. Any reply is
due 7 days after the opposition is filed.

2.

Plaintiff must attach a copy of the proposed amended complaint to his motion to amend.
See Smith v. Planas, 151 F.R.D. 547,550 (S.D.N.Y. 1993) ("In order to satisfy the
prerequisite of particularity in a motion to amend, a complete copy of the proposed
amended complaint must accompany the motion so that both the Court and opposing
parties can understand the exact changes sought.").

3.

The parties should not expect a ruling the from the Court immediately on the motion to
amend. Accordingly, it is suggested that the deposition of plaintiff be adjourned for now
and be rescheduled after the motion to amend is decided. If it becomes necessary to seek
an extension of the discovery schedule, an application may be made at the appropriate
time under paragraph l.E of the Court's Individual Practices.
