BARBARA MOSES, United States Magistrate Judge.
The above-titled 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,

which

are

available

on

the

Court's

website

at

https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-barbara-moses. 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. Courtesy copies of letters and lettermotions filed via ECF are required only if the filing contains voluminous attachments. Courtesy
copies should be delivered promptly, should bear the ECF header generated at the time of
electronic filing, and should include tabs for the 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 Tamika
Kay at [phone] immediately.
7.

Plaintiff is hereby notified that, until further notice, pro se parties may file

pleadings, letters, and other documents with the Court by using any of the following methods:
