December 18, 2009 Filing 57 MOTION for pre motion conference by Ralph Squitteri. (Kutner, Charles)
December 18, 2009 Opinion or Order ORDER granting in part and denying in part #57 Motion for Pre Motion Conference. As set forth in the Individual Motion Practice and Rules of this Court, service of Third Party Defendant Squitieri's request for a pre-motion conference regarding a proposed motion to dismiss constitutes timely service of a motion made pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b), and thus satisfies his obligation to move or answer the third party complaint served on December 1, 2009. Third Party Defendant's motion will be scheduled for briefing and filing at the close of discovery and in accordance with the schedule that shall be set for the Plaintiff's motion to strike the third party complaints on the same grounds. Ordered by Judge Eric N. Vitaliano on 12/18/2009. (Feirman, Jordan)
December 17, 2009 Opinion or Order ORDER endorsed on #56 Response to Motion filed by plaintiffs. The electronic order giving Heartshare Human Services, SCO Family of Services and St. Joseph Services for Children, Inc. leave to file a third party complaint did not, and was not intended to, preclude a motion to strike by plaintiffs. Plaintiffs may file a motion to strike this third party complaint at the conclusion of discovery without seeking a pre-motion conference with Judge Vitaliano, as long as plaintiffs move on the same grounds as set forth in their pre-motion letter against the City defendants. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 12/17/2009 (after conferring with Judge Vitaliano). (Go, Marilyn)
December 15, 2009 Filing 56 RESPONSE to Motion re #50 First MOTION for Joinder Clarification of Order filed by C.B., J.B., J.L., L.J. and J.G., S.B. and R.E., S.W., T.L.. (Merson, Jordan)
December 14, 2009 Opinion or Order ORDER granting #50 Motion for Joinder, in the absence of opposition. Rule 14(a) "'was designed to permit the liberal joinder of parties so that judicial energy could be conserved and consistency of results guaranteed.'" State of New York v. Solvent Chemical Co., Inc., 875 F.Supp. 1015, 1021 (W.D.N.Y. 1995) (quoting Olympic Corp. v. Societe Generale, 462 F.2d 376, 379 (2d Cir. 1972)). As reflected in the minute entry for a conference on November 13, 2009 before Judge Vitaliano, discovery is to proceed on the third party complaint brought by the City defendants against the same persons whom the movants seek to join in the instant application. Thus, this Court finds that leave to implead the third parties here would not "prejudice the plaintiff, unduly complicate the trial, or would foster an obviously unmeritorious claim." See Dery v. Wyer, 265 F.2d 804 (2d Cir. 1959); see also Shafarman v. Ryder Truck Rental, Inc., 100 F.R.D. 454, 458-59 (S.D.N.Y. 1984). Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 12/14/2009. (Go, Marilyn)
December 14, 2009 Opinion or Order ORDER granting #51 Motion to Amend/Correct/Supplement. Absent opposition, the Court finds no undue delay, bad faith or prejudice to warrant denial of the amendment sought herein. See Block v. First Blood Association, 988 F.2d 344, 350 (2d Cir. 1993). Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 12/14/2009. (Go, Marilyn)
December 14, 2009 Opinion or Order ORDER granting #54 Motion for Discovery. The prior schedule for any motion for a protective order or with respect to any other discovery dispute is extended as follows: motion papers filed by 12/31/09, opposition papers filed by 1/19/10 and any reply filed by NOON on 1/26/10. Courtesy copies of any submissions involving more than 2 exhibits or exceeding 10 pages must be delivered to chambers within one day of filing. The next conference is adjourned to January 29, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. However, the parties are warned that this date is subject to change depending on the nature of the motions filed. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 12/14/2009. (Go, Marilyn)

August 6, 2009 Opinion or Order ORDER granting #28 Motion for Discovery as follows. Although the deadline specified by Rule 26(a)(1)(C) of the Fed. R. Civ. P. has passed and this Court did not set a deadline for exchange of initial disclosures at the initial conference, this Court understood from the discussion at the conference that the parties would be providing disclosures and materials as promptly as possible. To facilitate production pending entry of a formal confidentiality order, the Court required counsel to maintain the confidentiality of all materials produced. No redactions of any confidential information contained in the materials and documents should be made. The defendants must produce initial disclosures by 8/7/09. The request of defendants Heartshare, SCO and St. Joseph's Services for an extension of time until 8/30/09 to respond to plaintiffs' interrogatories is granted. However, said defendants must use best efforts to respond earlier and must produce documents on a rolling basis beginning no later than 8/14/09. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 8/6/2009.

June 30, 2009 Minute Order for for Initial Conference Hearing, Motion for Default Judgment #11 and Motion for Extension of Time to Answer #13 held before Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on June 29, 2009.Appearances by Thomas Moore, Thomas Babbitt, Jennifer Pearl, Jordan Merson, John Walsh for plaintiffs; Carl Schaerf, Bruce Strikowsky, Thaddeus Hackworth and Abigail Goldenberg for City of New York; Robert Delmond for agency defendants. Plaintiffs agreed to withdraw their motion for entry of default against the City of New York. With plaintiffs' consent, the City defendant's motion to extend the time to answer is granted and the time to file an answer extended to 8/7/09. Schedule established pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b) as follows: (1) defendants are given leave, with consent, to file a third party complaint by 9/15/09; (2) plaintiffs' depositions must be taken no later than 11/20/09 and remaining fact discovery completed by 3/24/10; (3) damages expert report(s) and disclosures must be served by plaintiffs by 6/29/09 and by defendants by 1/15/10; (4) liability expert report(s) and disclosures must be served by plaintiffs by 12/15/10 and defendants by 2/26/10. Applying federal law in light of the federal claims herein, the Court finds that the privacy interests protected under the Social Services Law and other state laws raised by the City defendant are outweighed by the probative value of the records sought and adequacy of protections afforded under an appropriate protective order. See King v. Conde, 121 F.R.D. 180, 187 (E.D.N.Y. 1988). Pending issuance of a formal protective order, counsel for the parties shall maintain the confidentiality of the records produced herein and may not disclose them to other persons, except for experts who also agree to so limit dissemination and disclosure. The parties should promptly provide the court with a proposed protective order.
