Date Filed Document Text
August 8, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 8 TEXT ORDER granting in part and denying in part without prejudice Plaintiff's letter-request (Dkt. No. #7 ) for clarification and a copy of pretrial minutes. Plaintiff's Amended Complaint would not be due until 30 days from the date of the undersigned's Decision and Order adopting Magistrate Judge Baxter's Report-Recommendation, which has not yet occurred. As a result, there is no need at this time for an extension of the deadline by which to file an Amended Complaint. As for Plaintiff's request for a copy of pretrial minutes, because those minutes are from proceedings not held in this Court, the Court is without the authority to either grant the request or add the cost to Plaintiff's filing fee. The only procedural guidance the Court can offer is that, apart from attempting to obtain the minutes during discovery in this action, Plaintiff might receive assistance by calling the District's Pro Se Assistance Program at 877-422-1011 or emailing that Program at prose@ndnyfcba.org. SO ORDERED by Chief Judge Glenn T. Suddaby on 8/8/2022. (Copy served upon plaintiff via regular mail) (sal )
