October 27, 2016 Filing 76 Letter regarding status report as directed by the Court by Michael Pacheco, Sr (Colihan, Michael)

October 13, 2016 Minute Entry for proceedings held on 10/13/2016 before Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go: Appearances by telephone by M. Colihan for plaintiffs; E. Jacobs for defendants. The parties should promptly schedule the remaining depositions and discovery is extended to 1/10/2017. The parties must submit a status report by 10/27/2016 regarding the status of settlement and are encouraged to call chambers to schedule an earlier settlement conference if the parties think it would be useful. FTR/C: 11:01-11:09 (Moo-Young, Jillian)
September 28, 2016 Opinion or Order ORDER: After plaintiffs filed a #71 motion for leave to file a Fourth Amended Complaint, this Court filed orders on 11/10/2015 and 12/18/2015 directing plaintiffs to file a proposed amended complaint that specifically identifies which defendants are being sued under each claim. As noted at prior conferences, there are multiple plaintiffs and defendants, but each plaintiff did not have interaction with every defendant. Because plaintiffs have failed to supplement their motion and their proposed pleading lacks sufficient specificity regarding which claims are being raised against which defendants, the #71 motion for leave to file a Fourth Amended Complaint is denied. See Denny v. Barber, 576 F.2d 465, 471 (2d Cir. 1971) (where plaintiff is on notice of deficiencies in complaint at time of first amendment, it is not entitled to a third go-around.); see also Iwachiw v. NYC Bd. of Elections, 273 F.Supp.2d 224, 227 (E.D.N.Y. 2003) (finding that because the Court has given the plaintiff an opportunity to amend his complaint, and he has again failed to comply with Rule 8, the amended complaint is dismissed with prejudice). Accordingly, this action will proceed on the basis of the #42 Third Amended Complaint, which, although also lacking in specificity, was filed with the consent of defendants. A status conference will be held on 10/13/2016 at 11:00 a.m. (by tel.). Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 9/28/2016. (Moo-Young, Jillian)
February 19, 2016 Minute Entry for proceedings held on 2/19/2016 before Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go: Appearances by telephone by M. Colihan for plaintiffs; E. Jacobs for defendants. Hearing held during the deposition of Sgt. Concepcion and rulings made. The defendants are directed to produce a redacted copy of the transcript of the recording in question to counsel for plaintiffs, who shall maintain the confidentiality of the transcript for "attorneys eyes only" and may not disclose the transcript to any other person, including his clients. Defendants may make redactions of statements which may suggest the identities of persons connected with the recording and must produce the transcript to plaintiff's counsel by 3/16/2016. If plaintiffs dispute the redactions made or seeks other relief, plaintiffs may file a motion, attaching the transcript and the questions to which defense counsel had objected. The parties are given leave to file the transcript under seal. FTR/C: 2:09-2:14, 2:15-2:24 (sealed), 2:24-2:29 (Moo-Young, Jillian)
January 8, 2016 Filing 75 RESPONSE in Opposition re #71 First MOTION to Amend/Correct/Supplement #42 Amended Complaint filed by Alexis Castillo, Felix Concepcion, William Davitt, Lee Maldonado, Besim Pelinku, The City of New York. (Jacobs, Elissa)
December 18, 2015 Opinion or Order ORDER granting in part and denying in part the #74 motion. Defendants' motion for an extension of time to respond to the #71 motion to amend is granted and defendants' time to respond is extended to 1/8/2016. The Court has previously commented on the lack of specificity of the proposed amended complaint, and by 12/29/2015, plaintiff must file a letter specifying each claim by title and which defendants are being sued under each claim, since plaintiff must have a good faith basis for asserting each claim against a given defendant. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go on 12/18/2015. (Moo-Young, Jillian)

September 21, 2015 Minute Order for proceedings held on 9/18/2015 before Magistrate Judge Marilyn D. Go: Appearances by M. Colihan for plaintiffs; E. Jacobs for the City defendant. Hearing held on plaintiffs' #57 #58 motions to compel and defendant's #60 motion for a protective order. The #58 motion to compel is granted in part as follows: the City defendant must promptly provide an index of disciplinary charges of the officers, and must take measures, as discussed, to identify the remaining unidentified officers in the video. Disclosures must be supplemented promptly. Defendants must file a status report by 10/19/2015 on progress in identifying the remaining officers. After discussion, plaintiffs withdraw their #57 motion, and, correspondingly, the motion for a protective order is deemed moot, in light of said withdrawal, but the #60 motion to seal is granted. The prior scheduling order is extended as follows: fact discovery must be completed by 2/4/2016; any motion for leave to amend a pleading and/or join new parties must be filed by letter application by 11/19/2015 and must indicate whether there is consent.

September 9, 2015 Opinion or Order ORDER: Plaintiffs must supplement by 9/15/2015 their #57 #58 motions by expressly identifying the document requests and responses at issue, in accordance with Local Civil Rule 37.1. Because it is not clear if plaintiffs were served with the cover letter attached to defendants' response to the #57 motion, which was filed under seal, defense counsel must provide a copy of the cover letter to plaintiffs' counsel (which indicated her intention to serve it on plaintiffs), if she has not already done so. To the extent that defendants seek to invoke the law enforcement privilege in their response to the #57 motion, they must file a supporting affidavit or declaration by 9/15/2015. See Dorsett v. County of Nassau , 762 F. Supp. 2d 500, 532 (E.D.N.Y. 2011) (government must present competent declarations to meet its burden of making a substantial threshold showing). Defendants are granted leave to do so under seal, but should publicly file the affidavit and declaration with appropriate redactions.
