BRITTGAB CORP., et al.,
Defendants.

BARBARA MOSES, United States Magistrate Judge.
The above-referenced action has been referred to Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses for
general pretrial management, including scheduling, discovery, non-dispositive pretrial motions,
and settlement, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A). All pretrial motions and applications,
including those related to scheduling and discovery (but excluding motions to dismiss or for
judgment on the pleadings, for injunctive relief, for summary judgment, or for class certification
under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23) must be made to Judge Moses and in compliance with this Court's
Individual

Practices

in

Civil

Cases,

the

Judge Abrams having specifically referred the sanctions issues raised in plaintiff's letter
dated July 13, 2021 (Dkt. No. 45), the Court will conduct a telephonic conference on July 20,
2021, at 11:00 am to discuss those issues and schedule an evidentiary hearing if necessary. At
that time, the parties are directed to call [phone] and enter the access code 7746387.
Parties and counsel are cautioned:
1.

Once a discovery schedule has been issued, all discovery must be initiated in time

to be concluded by the close of discovery set by the Court.
2.

Discovery

applications,

including

letter-motions

requesting

discovery

conferences, must be made promptly after the need for such an application arises and must
comply with Local Civil Rule 37.2 and § 2(b) of Judge Moses's Individual Practices. It is the

Court's practice to decide discovery disputes at the Rule 37.2 conference, based on the parties'
letters, unless a party requests or the Court requires more formal briefing. Absent extraordinary
circumstances, discovery applications made later than 30 days prior to the close of discovery
may be denied as untimely.
3.

For motions other than discovery motions, pre-motion conferences are not

required, but may be requested where counsel believe that an informal conference with the Court
may obviate the need for a motion or narrow the issues.
4.

Requests to adjourn a court conference or other court proceeding (including a

telephonic court conference) or to extend a deadline must be made in writing and in compliance
with § 2(a) of Judge Moses's Individual Practices. Telephone requests for adjournments or
extensions will not be entertained.
5.

In accordance with § 1(d) of Judge Moses's Individual Practices, letters and letter-

motions are limited to four pages, exclusive of attachments.
6.

If you are aware of any party or attorney who should receive notice in this action,

other than those currently listed on the docket sheet, please notify Courtroom Deputy Kevin
Snell at [phone] immediately.
7.

Counsel for the plaintiff must serve a copy of this Order on any defendant

previously served with the summons and complaint, must serve this Order along with the
summons and complaint on all defendants served hereafter, and must file proof of such service
with the Court.
Dated: New York, New York

SO ORDERED.
