June 18, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER -- I will not require an initial discovery planning conference in this case, and the parties are not required to meet and confer in accordance with Rule 26(f). Instead, I will enter a separate case management and scheduling order that contemplates the completion of all discovery within four months. If there is an objection to the court's schedule, any party may either: (1) upon a showing of good cause and with the other party's consent, submit a proposed discovery plan in the form of the attached questionnaire; or (2) submit a letter request for an in-court conference that also sets forth the grounds for a different schedule.

May 30, 2019 Filing 7 Letter Addressing Court's Order of May 28, 2019 by Receivables Performance Management LLC (Cipparulo, Peter) Modified on 5/31/2019 (Guy, Alicia).
May 28, 2019 Opinion or Order ORDER denying #6 Motion for Leave to Appear Pro Hac Vice -- Peter Cipparulo, III, is an attorney who is admitted to practice in the State of New Jersey and who has applied to be admitted pro hac vice on behalf of the defendants in the instant case pursuant to Local Civil Rule 1.3(c). See Docket Entry #6 . He is not admitted to practice before this court. For the reasons set forth below, I deny the motion without prejudice to renewal upon a showing that such admission is appropriate under the circumstances. Mr. Cipparulo practices law in New Jersey, where he is a member of the Law Offices of Peter Cipparulo, III, LLC. Mr. Cipparulo has been admitted pro hac vice in at least three cases in this district since 2018. See Faust v. Receivables Performance Management LLC, 18-CV-7139 (RJD), order dated Jan. 23, 2019; Pinyuk v. Receivables Performance Management, LLC, 18-CV-4121 (LDH), order dated Sept. 24, 2018; Kostivitch et al v. Receivables Performance Management LLC, 18-CV-3461 (JMA), order dated Aug. 31, 2018. In each of those prior cases, as in the instant case, Mr. Cipparulo represented defendant Receivables Performance Management LLC. It thus appears that Mr. Cipparulo regularly engages in the practice of law in this district. Yet by routinely gaining admission pro hac vice rather than taking the steps necessary to join the bar of this court, Mr. Cipparulo remains immune to much of the disciplinary oversight to which his colleagues are subjected. See Loc. Civ. R. 1.5(b)-(c). This court routinely grants attorneys who practice elsewhere the courtesy of representing clients who find themselves involved in litigation in this court. But "[a]dmission pro hac vice is by definition, at most, admission for a single proceeding." In re Rappaport, 558 F.2d 87, 88 n. 1 (2d Cir. 1977). It is a privilege rather than a right, see Leis v. Flynt, 439 U.S. 438, 441-42, 99 S.Ct. 698, 58 L.Ed.2d 717 (1979), and one that should not be abused. If Mr. Cipparulo intends to continue representing Receivables Performance Management LLC or other clients in this court, he can and should secure the admission to our bar. If, on the other hand, Mr. Cipparulo can demonstrate that his many applications for admission pro hac vice represent an aberration in his normal practice, and that he does not anticipate making future similar applications on a routine basis, then I will of course grant him the same courtesy that is routinely afforded to out-of-state counsel in their occasional visits to this district. Ordered by Magistrate Judge James Orenstein on 5/28/2019. (Gustafson, Kaelyn)
