Filing 78
OPINION AND ORDER: For the reasons stated above, the Court dismisses Viacoml 8 Media Private Limited, TV18 Broadcast Limited, and Indiacast Media Distribution Private Limited from this action for lack of timely service. The Court grants the Viacom defendants' motion to dismiss the claims against them in full. Consistent with the Court's August 1, 2018 order, which directed Shukla to file any amended complaint and advised that "[n]o further opportunities to amend will ordinarily be granted," Dkt. 32, such dismissal is with prejudice. Finally, the Court grants the Indiacast defendants' motion to compel arbitration and stays the action pending the outcome of arbitration. The parties are directed to submit a joint status letter to the Court every 90 days, measured from the date of this decision, advising the Court as to the status of the arbitration proceedings. The Court respectfully directs the Clerk of Court to terminate the motions pending at docket entries 58 and 64 and to terminate defendants Viacom Inc., Viacom International Inc., Indiacast Media Distribution Private Limited, Viacom18 Media Private Limited, and TV18 Broadcast Limited from this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 5/1/2019) (ks) Transmission to Orders and Judgments Clerk for processing.

Filing 75
ORDER denying #74 Letter Motion to Adjourn Conference. Denied. As set forth in the Court's individual rules, it is the Court's practice to schedule an initial pretrial conference approximately two weeks after a responsive pleading, including a motion to dismiss, is filed. It therefore is not uncommon for the Court to conduct initial conferences while motions to dismiss are pending. At the parties' request, the Court adjourned the initial pretrial conference to a date after the motion to dismiss was fully submitted, but the Court sees no reason to further postpone the initial conference. It remains scheduled for December 17, 2018, at 11 a.m. The parties' pre-conference submissions, described in its August 1, 2018 order, are due no later than December 12, 2018. SO ORDERED.

ORDER denying #51 Letter Motion for Extension of Time. The Court has received plaintiff's motion for an extension of time to serve the Amended Complaint on defendants IndiaCast Media Distribution Private Limited ("IndiaCast Media"), Viacom18 Media Private Limited ("Viacom18"), and TV18 Broadcast Limited ("TV18"). Dkt. 51. Defendants IndiaCast US Ltd., Sameer Goswami, and Shalaj Dang oppose plaintiff's request. Dkt. 54; as further set forth herein. Plaintiff has not provided any explanation to justify his failure to effect service. Nor has plaintiff asserted that he will suffer prejudice if the extension is not granted. In light of his lengthy and unexplained delay, and in light of the fact that service by the Hague Convention would considerably delay these proceedings, plaintiffs request for an extension of time to serve IndiaCast Media, Viacom18, and TV18 is denied.
