GABRIEL W. GORENSTEIN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
In an Order filed March 18, 2021 (Docket # 524) (the “March 18 Order”), this Court
ordered plaintiff Towaki Komatsu to
file an affidavit (or sworn statement pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746) on or before March
25, 2021, stating whether he has publicly disclosed — in any form, whether altered or
otherwise — any information produced to him by the defendants that was designated as
confidential under the Confidentiality Order. The affidavit should specifically address the
claim regarding the court filing (Docket # 521) and the Twitter account. It must also give
a complete description of all circumstances in which plaintiff has disclosed any
documents produced by defendants and designated as confidential to anyone in any other
manner.
March 18 Order at 2.
That date has passed and the docket sheet contains no document in compliance with that
Order, although plaintiff has made numerous other filings since the Order’s issuance, including
two referencing his knowledge of the Order. See Letter from Towaki Komatsu, filed March 19,
2021 (Docket # 525); Letter from Towaki Komatsu, filed March 24, 2021 (Docket # 527).
Plaintiff is ordered to comply with the March 18 Order on or before April 9, 2021.
Plaintiff is warned that any non-compliance with this Order (or any other Order) may by itself
result in sanctions, including dismissal of the case with prejudice.
Defendants are directed to email plaintiff a copy of this Order. The Clerk is requested to
mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff.
Dated: March 30, 2021
New York, New York

SO ORDERED.
