August 13, 2020 Opinion or Order ORDER granting in part and denying in part #236 Motion for Extension of Time to Complete Discovery: All that remains to complete discovery in this case is the deposing of Drs. Devarajan and Guerci by Plaintiff. (See #229 .) (As no party has addressed the completion of Plaintiff's deposition, the Court presumed it has been completed and is not at issue. See id.) Having considered Plaintiff's Motion #236 , Defendants' Opposition #237 , and Plaintiff's Reply #238 , and notwithstanding Plaintiff's appeal (see #228 ) of Magistrate Judge Locke's June 11, 2020 Order denying her motion to compel compliance with a subpoena issued upon non-party New York Presbyterian Hospital (see #227 ), with which this Court is well-aware, Plaintiff has failed to show good cause for the requested 90-day extension of the August 21, 2020 discovery deadline. Therefore, said requested extension is denied. However, in the interest of justice, Plaintiff will be afforded one additional week, until August 28, 2020, to complete the depositions of Drs. Devarajan and Guerci. Thus, Defendants' request for an order barring Plaintiff from deposing Drs. Devarajan and Guerci "based upon Plaintiff's repeated bad faith conduct in cancelling their depositions on short notice, without good reason, two (2) separate times over the last six (6) months" ( #237 at 3) is denied without prejudice to renew if further cancellations occur. Plaintiff is on NOTICE: NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED. Ordered by Judge Sandra J. Feuerstein on 8/13/2020. c/ECF (Killigrew, Patricia)

January 24, 2020 Opinion or Order Electronic ORDER granting #190 Motion to Amend/Correct/Supplement. The Court has already removed the restrictions on docket entry #188 . The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to provide the Plaintiff access to docket entry #187 .

January 11, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 53 CERTIFIED ORDER of USCA 16-2342 as to #48 Notice of Appeal filed by Chinwe Offor.

Upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED. Discon, Inc. v. NYNEX Corp., 4 F.3d 130, 132 (2d Cir. 1993). However, it is unclear whether the Court has jurisdiction over the remainder of the appeal. Therefore, it is further ORDERED that the parties address in their merits briefs, in addition to all other issues, whether the denial of Appellants cross-motion for sanctions is currently appealable because it preceded final judgment, see Shannon v. Gen. Elec. Co., 186 F.3d 186, 192 (2d Cir. 1999), or whether it is not currently appealable because all sanctions issues have not yet been decided by the district court, see Mayer v. Wall Street Equity Grp., Inc., 672 F.3d 1222, 1223 (11th Cir. 2012) (per curiam). (Landow, Concetta)
