THE HONORABLE LISA MARGARET SMITH, U.S.M.J. 1
On August 21, 2020, the Court received a letter from Pro Se Plaintiff which
states, in relevant part,
I, Ronald Harris fought for my civil rights as a disabled person
and for the rights of others with a disability.
This fight came to an end after six (6) years. The New York
State Department of Motor Vehicles has determined that my
license will not be renewed due to my medical conditions.
Docket # 75. In this case, Plaintiff asserts claims of disability discrimination based on
Defendants' failure to provide Plaintiff with an accessible parking space at the building
where he lives. However, Plaintiff's letter raises the question of whether Plaintiff's claims
have been mooted. Accordingly, the Court hereby orders Plaintiff to submit an affidavit

The parties have consented to my exercise of jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(c), Docket# 27.

addressing the status of his driver's license as well as any documents evidencing the
determination not to renew Plaintiff's driver's license. Such affidavit and documents are
to be served on Defendants and filed with the Court by no later than October 13, 2020.
Thereafter, by no later than November 4, 2020, Defendants are to serve and file
a response to Plaintiff's affidavit in which they address the question of whether, based
upon the non-renewal of Plaintiff's driver's license, he no longer has standing to prosecute
this action, as well as any other arguments they may have that this action has thereby
been rendered moot.
