I have heard from Dr. Gelfand. He tells me that repeated efforts to get some information from you have resulted in no answers; he wants to know if he should give up preparing his second year's report and simply submit a bill. I would appreciate it if someone would get back to Dr. Gelfand with the information he seeks. I realize that you all have moved on, but you agreed to a three year monitoring procedure and no one has applied to end it prematurely, so I expect you to live up to your bargain. (rsh)

April 6, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 284 RULING ON DAVID MOATAZEDI DEPOSITION TESTIMONY: Therefore, the inference plaintiffs would ask the jury to draw from the fact that Moatazedi was asked to do the ride along - namely, that Costa promoted his career because of their encounter - is not a permissible inference. If plaintiffs are able to muster any evidence that Mr. Costa ever said so much as one word to promote Moatazedi's career prospects, they should show it to me now. Alternatively, if they have evidence about Costa's practices in connection with ride alongs (i.e., did he always ride along with male representatives rather then female), they should show it to me to put this portion of the deposition into context. Otherwise, the evidence about the ride-along does not appear to be relevant. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 4/6/2010) (jpo)

April 5, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 282 ORDER: IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION TO BRING AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE(S) INTO THE DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN UNITED STATES COURTHOUSE FOR USE IN A TRIAL OR PROCEEDING: I hereby authorize the following attorneys to bring the General Purpose Computing Device(s) (GPCD) into the Courthouse for use in a trial or proceeding in the action entitled Velez v. Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, No. 04 cv 9194 (CM), which is anticipated to begin on April 7, 2010. Brian Turner and Raymond McLeod will arrive with the electronic eviden equipment listed below on April 5 and/or 6, 2010...The individuals identified or member of their respective firms with a NY State Attorneys' Passin this Order must present a copy of this Order when entering the Courthouse. Their bringing of the equipment into the building constitutes a certification by them that the electronic device(s) lack (a) the capacity to make or record images or sounds or to send or receive wireless transmissions, and (b) one or more infrared ports or, alternatively, that any such capability or ports have been disabled. They shall not use or permit the use of such equipment to make or record images or sounds or to send or receive wireless transmissions. They shall comply in all respects with the requirements printed on the reverse side of this page.This order does not authorize any attorney or law firm to bring more than three GPCDs into the Courthouse. SO ORDERED.Dated:4/5/2010. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 4/5/2010). (mde)
April 1, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 281 MEMORANDUM TO COUNSEL, that the Court has reviewed the parties' proposed order regarding the bringing of electronic devices into the courtroom. As of today, April 1, 2010, the bringing of cell phones, Blackberries and other personal electronic devices ("PEDs") is governed by Standing Order M-l0-468 (the "Standing Order"), and only by the Standing Order. A copy of the Standing Order is available on the Local Rules page of the SDNY's website. In sum, you need to submit a revised proposed order. The order should (l) NOT include any requests for cell phones, Blackberries or other PEDs, which are governed by the Standing Order; (2) include proposed laptops-if the number of laptops proposed by either side exceeds 3, you must also submit written justification for the extra laptops; and (3) include the additional devices (e.g., cables, screens, etc.) that you have proposed-I will approve that technology. Additional relief as set forth in this Order. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 4/1/10) By ECF To All Parties.(pl) Modified on 4/8/2010 (pl).
March 31, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 280 ORDER CONCERNING TRIAL PROCEDURE: The Court is relieved to see that we are finally all on the same page (more or less) concerning what gets tried to the Court and what gets tried to the jury. Everyone now agrees that we will submit the issues of disparate treatment (pattern or practice discrimination), compensatory damages for the testifying named plaintiffs, and punitive damages for the class as a whole to the jury. If the jury concludes that defendant is liable for disparate treatment discrimination, the verdict sheet will direct it to answer YES or NO to a question regarding the propriety of an award of punitive damages. Evidence concerning Novartis' financial condition (to which I hope the parties can stipulate) will be submitted to the jury only if the answer is YES. Unless defendant can concretely identify some "additional evidence" not appropriately admitted in connection with the disparate treatment claims that the Court must hear before determining liability on a disparate impact theory, the Court expects all evidence relating to Novartis' liability under either theory to be presented during the jury trial. While the jury is deliberating, you will argue your respective disparate impact cases to me, based on the evidence previously admitted. Obviously I will await the jury's ruling on disparate treatment before ruling on disparate impact, but you will have your verdict on liability under a disparate impact theory within days after the jury's verdict on disparate treatment. Evidence relating to class-wide front and back pay awards for the class will not come in while the jury is in the box. However, that evidence will be heard while the jury is deliberating. The Court will render its verdict relatively quickly after the delivery of the jury's verdict on those claims that are triable to it. Potential claimants against those funds will have to make their case before a United States Magistrate Judge in a subsequent remedial phase. The Court will also refer any individual compensatory damages claims (for pain and suffering) to a United States Magistrate Judge for hearing following a period for notice and opportunity to opt out. In short, this Court intends to handle the entire trial except for the damages claims of non-testifying individual class members - liability under disparate treatment and disparate impact theories, compensatory damages to the testifying class members, punitive damages for the class, and class-wide back pay and front pay - in April and May 2010. I understand that this may lead to the introduction of unnecessary evidence during jury deliberations - for example, if the jury decides against the plaintiffs on their disparate treatment promotion claim and the Court decides against them on their disparate impact promotion claim, I will have heard evidence about back and front pay that I might not otherwise have needed to hear. However, my calendar does not permit me the luxury of postponing the portions of the trial that will result in verdicts delivered by the Court. I must move on to other matters come June 1. The procedure here outlined is designed to allow me to address all the issues I must address prior to that date. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 3/31/2010) (jfe)

January 8, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 184 LETTER addressed to All Counsel in Velez v. Novartis from Judge Colleen McMahon dated 1/7/2010. re: Demonstratives may abide the final pretrial conference; they do not need to be created now. But they must be shown to your opponent before I will let the jury see them. 2. You can use electronic demonstratives in closing, not in opening.Deposition designations, objections thereto and counter-designations and objections thereto are all part of the Pre-Trial Order. Please understand that Plaintiffs will have time for a rebuttal case without reserving it-that is, the party with the burden of proof can put on a rebuttal case without counting it toward the eight trial days-but I will have to have a proffer on any proposed rebuttal evidence and will disallow it if it is not truly rebuttal. No more than think lots of deposition testimony is a waste of time and energy at a jury trial-but it is your call. Counts against your time. And please remember: no deposition testimony will be admitted from witnesses who testify (it ends up being duplicative, you can use inconsistent statements to impeach) or from witnesses who are within the court's subpoena power (I enforce this rules strictly, since I disfavor testimony by deposition at a trial). I do not sit on Fridays. We start as soon as I have all the jurors in the morning,but that is generally 9:45. I give one hour for lunch and I take a short break in the morning and in the afternoon. We end between 4:30 and 5 PM. The five weeks takes into account that Friday is my calendar day. This means your two weeks is a total of eight trial days. All other provisions as set forth in this letter. (js)
