November 6, 2020 Opinion or Order ORDER granting #17 Motion for Extension of Time to Complete Discovery. The Court accepts counsel's representation that there are sufficiently serious personal reasons for her absence to constitute grounds for the extension.

Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 11/6/2020. (Weisberg, Peggy)

September 14, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 16 Letter Supplemental Information by Metropolitan Tansportation Authority Long Island Rail Road (Lundin, Priscilla)
September 14, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 15 CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT (Weinstein, Jesse)
September 14, 2020 Opinion or Order ORDER re: #15 . Defendant's portion of this submission is wholly inadequate.

Defendant is directed to submit a supplemental letter prior to the conference explaining why, if plaintiff presented medical evidence of urinary retention, defendant fired him, and how that could be consistent with the ADA. If there are no defenses, as it appears to be the case from defendant's inadequate contribution to planning for this conference, the Court will enter an Order to that effect at the conference pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(f). Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 9/14/2020. (Weisberg, Peggy)
