March 27, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 207 OPINION & ORDER re: 195 MOTION for Reconsideration filed by The City of New York, Thomas Coyne, Matthew Daus, The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission, Joseph Eckstein, Diane McGrath-McKechnie, Elizabeth Bonina , 197 MOTION for Reconsideration re; 187 Memorandum & Opinion filed by Konstantinos Katsigiannis, Boubacar Doumbia, Tobby Kombo, Ebrahim Abood, Moustach Ali, Saul Rothenberg, Robert Dyce: The Court grants defenda nts' motion for reconsideration (Dkt. No. 195) insofar as it finds that (1) the individual defendants are entitled to qualified immunity for their actions and (2) there is a factual question as to whether the drug test plaintiffs received notice of the specific drug found in their drug tests prior to their fitness hearings. Summary judgment is therefore granted in favor of the individual defendants, dismissing them from this litigation, and summary judgment is denied to the drug test pla intiffs on the issue of the adequacy of the hearing notice to drug test plaintiffs. Defendants' motion for reconsideration is otherwise denied. Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration (Dkt. No. 197) is denied, as plaintiffs have failed to identify any new factual matters or changes in controlling law that warrant reconsideration. The Court also denies plaintiffs' request to re-depose Marc Hardekopf, the lead TLC prosecutor, because he has already been deposed twice in this action and plaintiffs have presented no valid reason to depose him yet again.
