April 8, 2016 Opinion or Order ORDER re (189) -- By letter dated April 4, 2016, Plaintiff advises the Court that, since discharging her previous attorney, she has not been able to retain new counsel. She also refuses to prosecute her case pro se. Accordingly, Plaintiff requests that her "case be discontinued." Because the defendants have filed answers, and because Plaintiff has not procured a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties, Plaintiff may not move for dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1). See Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i)-(ii). Instead, Plaintiff may only dismiss her case under Rule 41(a)(2), which requires an order of this Court, "on terms that the court considers just and proper." See Rule 41(a)(2). Upon review of the record, it is ORDERED that this case be, and hereby is, dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk is directed to close this case. So Ordered by Judge Dora Lizette Irizarry on 4/8/2016. (Carosella, Christy)

February 23, 2016 Filing 177 First MOTION for Extension of Time to File Answer Amended Complaint by Angela Christmas, Jorge Dopico, Naomi Goldstein, Luis Gonzalez, John McConnell, Roy Reardon. (Berg, Michael)
February 17, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 176 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #119 Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim -- The two motions to dismiss the complaint before the Court are granted in part, as follows: (i) all claims against defendants Raniere and Friedberg are dismissed, with prejudice; (ii) Claims Five, Six, and Seven are dismissed as to each defendant that is a natural person (the "Individual Defendants"), with prejudice; and (iii) those portions of Claims Two and Three alleging sexual harassment and aiding and abetting sexual harassment are dismissed as to each Individual Defendant, with prejudice. As for the six remaining Individual Defendants and the remaining claims, the motions are denied with respect to: (i) Claim Four; and (ii) those portions of Claims Two and Three alleging retaliation. For clarity, the only Individual Defendants who remain in this action are defendants Gonzalez, McConnell, Rearden, Dopico, Christmas, and Goldstein; the only claims that survive as to these defendants are Claim Four and the retaliation allegations contained in Claims Two and Three. The Clerk of the Court is directed to note the termination of defendants Raniere and Friedberg on the docket. This case is referred to the magistrate judge for further pretrial proceedings. SO ORDERED by Judge Dora Lizette Irizarry on 2/17/2016. (Irizarry, Dora)
February 12, 2016 Filing 175 Letter faxed to chambers on 2/11/2016 from Edward Griffith, Esq. requesting extension of time for plaintiff to retain counsel. (Hugh, Lewis)
February 12, 2016 Opinion or Order ORDER re #175 Letter: plaintiff's request for an extension of time to 2/25/16 to obtain new counsel is granted. Plaintiff should note that she may obtain new counsel at any time. The date set at the last conference for new counsel to file a notice of appearance was merely intended to ensure that there would be no delay in producing outstanding discovery by the deadline set. Nonetheless, the Court reluctantly extends plaintiff's time to 2/29/16 to supplement her responses to Raniere's and the individual State defendants' interrogatories and document requests. No further extensions of this deadline will be granted since the outstanding discovery should have been provided long before plaintiff discharged her most recent counsel. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 2/12/2016. (Proujansky, Josh)

Evans for defendant Unified Court System; W. Stryker, N. Bergstrom for defendant Raniere; M. Berg for individual State defendants. Plaintiff Nicole Corrado participated. Argument heard and rulings made on the record granting in large part [166, 167] motions to compel of defendants. Plaintiff must produce to defendant Raniere those documents already produced to the other defendants, as previously ordered, by 1/21/16. Plaintiff must supplement by 2/18/16 her responses to Raniere's and the individual State defendants' interrogatories and document requests, as set forth in the attached Minute Order.

(Proujansky, Josh)
January 20, 2016 Opinion or Order ORDER: at a conference held on 1/14/16, this Court granted plaintiff's oral request that Mr. Housh be relieved as her counsel and directed Mr. Housh to file a letter by 1/15/16 as to whether he asserts a retaining lien. Since Mr. Housh has failed to do so, he must promptly transmit his client's files to plaintiff or her new counsel upon request, with the reasonable costs of reproduction to be borne by plaintiff. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully requested to terminate Frank Housh as counsel for plaintiff and to note on the docket sheet the following address and telephone number for plaintiff: 242-18 Van Zandt Avenue, Douglaston, NY 11362, 917-337-6153. Since Ms. Corrado is an attorney and apparently has accessed the electronic docket sheet, the Clerk of the Court is requested to add her ECF registration email address. Until such time as new counsel appears for plaintiff, notices shall be sent directly to plaintiff. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 1/20/2016. (Proujansky, Josh)

March 25, 2015 Opinion or Order ORDER denying #130 Motion for Leave to File: Plaintiff's request to file a sur-reply to Defendants' motion to dismiss is denied for the same reasons that Plaintiff's motion to amend her response to Defendants' motion to dismiss was denied.

March 24, 2015 Filing 130 MOTION for Leave to File Sur-reply by Nicole Corrado. (Wotorson, Ambrose)
March 23, 2015 Opinion or Order ORDER denying #128 Motion to Amend/Correct/Supplement -- As Defendants already have replied to Plaintiff's response to their motion to dismiss, leave to amend the response is denied. Plaintiff had ample opportunity to move to amend, but waited until the day before Defendants' reply was due and then failed to follow the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as well as my Individual Rules and Practices, in her motion practice. Moreover, Plaintiff and her counsel should have exercised greater care in plaintiff's submission to the court. The docket is replete with plaintiff's corrections and amendments to documents. If more time was needed to get the response right, then a timely request for an extension of the briefing deadline in accord with my rules should have been made; but it was not.

March 20, 2015 Opinion or Order ORDER striking #127 Motion to Amend/Correct/Supplement; ORDER re #125 Response in Opposition to Motion filed by Nicole Corrado -- As an initial matter, plaintiff's counsel improperly addressed a motion to amend plaintiff's response to defendant's motion to dismiss the amended complaint to the magistrate judge instead of addressing it to the undersigned district judge. Consistent with the failure to follow not only my rules, but the general rules of civil procedure exhibited by plaintiff throughout this case, counsel went ahead and filed the amended response BEFORE even filing the motion amending the response. Indeed, this "motion" is nothing more than a statement that plaintiff already amended the response. No leave was sought from the court to do so. Accordingly, this motion is striken as is the amended response. Plaintiff is admonished that further failures to comply with my rules and to further waste the court's time by filing inaccurate or erroneous documents will be met with sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 and/or 28 U.S.C. Section 1927. SO ORDERED by Judge Dora Lizette Irizarry on 3/20/2015. (Irizarry, Dora)

November 19, 2014 Minute Entry for Status Conference held on 11/19/2014 before Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go: Appearances by A. Wotorson for plaintiff; L. Evans for Unified Court System. As discussed, the Amended Complaint docketed as #86 shall be the operative pleading in this case and discovery shall proceed based on that pleading, except as to the state tort claims against UCS which plaintiff concedes should not have been asserted. Plaintiff must promptly provide UCS with a stipulation withdrawing those claims against UCS. Although the Court agrees with certain arguments raised by UCS as to insufficiency of the state tort claims against the individual defendants, those are arguments not raised earlier in opposition to plaintiff's motion to amend and not discussed in the Court's prior order regarding the motion. Also, since plaintiff has asserted other claims against the individual defendants, the existence of the state tort claims against the individual defendants will not affect the scope of discovery. Defendant must provide the last known addresses of the individual defendants who are current or former employees of the Unified Court System. Plaintiff must promptly serve the individual defendants with the Amended Complaint. Next conference scheduled for 2/18/15 at 11:00 a.m. FTR/C 12:01-12:36. (Hugh, Lewis)

May 27, 2014 Opinion or Order ORDER denying #78 Motion for Reconsideration -- Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration of this Court's Order issued today denying her request for expedited determination on her motion to amend the complaint is DENIED. It is this Court's understanding, having conferred with the magistrate judge, that the matter is sub judice and that an opinion should be forthcoming soon. Plaintiff has made a practice of delaying discovery and filing distracting motions, most of which have been without merit. Moreover, the proposed amended complaint, which comes more than a year after the initial complaint was filed, seeks to add 8 new individuals and 15 new causes of action. As such, plaintiff and her counsel are best served not to waste the court's scarce time and resources with frivolous motions such as the instant one or the court will consider the imposition of sanctions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1927. SO ORDERED by Judge Dora Lizette Irizarry on 5/27/2014. (Irizarry, Dora)

June 27, 2013 Filing 47 Letter in response to Plaintiff's letter dated June 25, 2013 by New York State Unified Court System (Evans, Lisa)
June 27, 2013 Opinion or Order ORDER granting in part and denying in part #46 Motion for Discovery. Any future applications must show that the applicant attempted to resolve the dispute prior to filing the motion as required by Local Civil Rule 37.3. Plaintiff requests that the Court draw an adverse inference that there is no distinction between "written determination" and "final written report" of plaintiff's sexual harassment claims. Assuming this is relief that a party may seek and that this request is properly raised at this juncture, the request is denied. The two are distinct under the terms of defendant's Sexual Harassment Policy and Procedures Manual (submitted by plaintiff) and plaintiff has offered no logical reason for drawing such an inference against defendant. Plaintiff's request to compel production of the Inspector General's report is premature before a document demand has been served on defendant. However, the Court notes that any privilege asserted by defendant must be supported by a privilege log and an appropriate affidavit by a person with knowledge. Since defendant has confirmed that plaintiff was not provided a written determination of her complaint as required by the defendant's policy, it must be produced by 7/3/13. As for defendant's request that plaintiff's opportunity to amend the complaint be deemed waived, the Court will address any future application for leave to amend according to the governing legal principles. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 6/27/2013. (Proujansky, Josh)

The scheduling order is extended as follows: (1) plaintiff must send defendant a proposed amended complaint by 6/25/13 and the parties should attempt to resolve the substance of any contemplated new claim, with defendant responding by 7/9/13; (2) if the parties cannot resolve the new claims and/or agree to amendment, plaintiff's motion to amend must be filed by 7/29/13 and any opposition by 8/29/13; (2) fact discovery must be completed by 10/31/13 ; and (3) any party intending to call an expert, other than in rebuttal, to support an affirmative claim or defense must give notice by 7/29/13 of the type of expert to be retained, areas of expertise and subject matter to be addressed by the expert, except defendant's time to give notice of its intent to call a mental health expert, shall be within two weeks of plaintiff's deposition, if later; (4) the parties must confer and file a proposed expert discovery schedule by 9/6/13. Discovery is not stayed pending determination of plaintiff's motion to disqualify defense counsel. Defendant must promptly provide plaintiff with the last known addresses of Bratton and Raniere and advise whether they will appear for deposition voluntarily. Defendant must also promptly confirm whether any written determination regarding plaintiff's internal complaint was sent to her. Next conference scheduled for 11/1/13 at 10:00 a.m. (Tape #10:08-10:46.) (Hugh, Lewis)

June 4, 2013 Opinion or Order ORDER granting #39 Motion for Extension of Time to Complete Discovery.

May 3, 2013 Email Notification Test - DO NOT REPLY (Levine, Evelyn)
May 3, 2013 Opinion or Order ORDER re #36 Letter filed by The Law Office of Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C. -- Apparently, former counsel for plaintiff, The Law Office of Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C., was relieved from this case and was incorrectly listed as a defendant in this case. Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is directed to correct the caption and delete The Law Office of Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C. as a defendant in the caption. Counsel for plaintiff, Mr. Wotorson, is directed to serve a copy of this Electronic Order on The Law Office of Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C. within five days of the date of this Order and immediately thereafter file proof of such service with the Court. The Court thanks The Law Office of Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C. for clarifying its status in this case and it need not comply with this court's May 2, 2013 Order.

May 2, 2013 Opinion or Order ORDER DIRECTING FILING OF NOTICE OF APPEARANCE AND ANSWER TO COMPLAINT - A review of the docket reveals that, although counsel for defendant Law Office of Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C.

Moreover, Borrelli has yet to file an answer to the complaint. Borrelli's counsel are hereby ORDERED to file a notice of appearance, register for ECF and otherwise comply with the ECF requirements of the court and file an answer to the complaint NO LATER THAN MAY 13, 2013.

SO ORDERED by Judge Dora Lizette Irizarry on 5/2/2013. (Irizarry, Dora)
