Local 3621, EMS Officers Union, DC-37, AFSCME, AFL-CIO et al v. City of New York et al

Filing 593

ORDER: Between 3 pm and 5:47 pm on Friday, the Court received two more letters from the Parties. Dkt. No. 591-592. Clearly, the City prematurely sought Court intervention on the 34 missing names as Plaintiffs most recent letter agrees to locate an d produce not only the thirty-four (34) names of women and people of color missing from the BITs Dataset that they initially discovered, but any additional names they discover as a courtesy to Defendants. Dkt. No. 592. Defendants request is DENIED as moot. Plaintiffs request to interrogate experts on deficiencies in the BITs data is DENIED as premature. Defendants still have time to provide updated, remedied BITs data. As directed in the Courts previous Order, the Parties shall confer on a de position schedule and propose dates by September 6th. The Plaintiffs' request to schedule a deposition over Labor Day weekend for Tuesday is unreasonable and is also DENIED. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Jennifer E. Willis on 8/30/2024) (tg)

JENNIFER E. WILLIS, United States Magistrate Judge:
Between 3 pm and 5:47 pm on Friday, the Court received two more letters
from the Parties. Dkt. No. 591–592. Clearly, the City prematurely sought Court
intervention on the 34 missing names as Plaintiffs’ most recent letter agrees to
“locate and produce not only the thirty-four (34) names of women and people of
color missing from the BITs Dataset that they initially discovered, but any
additional names they discover as a courtesy to Defendants.” Dkt. No. 592.
Defendants’ request is DENIED as moot.
Plaintiffs’ request to interrogate experts on deficiencies in the BITs data is
DENIED as premature. Defendants still have time to provide updated, remedied
BITs data.
As directed in the Court’s previous Order, the Parties shall confer on a
deposition schedule and propose dates by September 6th. The Plaintiffs’
request to schedule a deposition over Labor Day weekend for Tuesday is
unreasonable and is also DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
DATED:

New York, New York
August 30, 2024
