September 1, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 326 ORDER: Great Western and the Ability Defendants report that they are unable to reach agreement on the scope of search terms to identify relevant electronically stored information. ECF Nos. 316, 317. Great Western describes the dispute as one where the Ability Defendants have "unilateral[ly]" stopped searching for and producing documents; and the Ability Defendants contend that Great Western's proposed search terms hit on too many nonresponsive documents to justify the burden and expense of further review.

As part of this negotiation, the Ability Defendants are ORDERED to provide responsive hit reports for proposed terms/custodians. The Court will hold a conference on September 13, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 219, Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, New York.

December 18, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 105 ORDER granting #104 Letter Motion for Leave to File Document. APPLICATION GRANTED. I am in receipt of Plaintiff's request to file a Second Amended Complaint. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15, courts "should freely give leave" to amend pleadings "when justice so requires." Moreover, leave to amend should be liberally granted," Samad Bros., Inc. v. Bokara Rug Co. Inc., 2010 WL 4457196, at * 2 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 18, 2010), and leave may be denied only where there is undue delay, bad faith, undue prejudice to the opposing party, or if amendment would be futile, RSM Prod. Corp. v. Fridman, 2008 WL 474144, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 19, 2008). Because Plaintiff does not appear to be seeking leave to amend for any improper purpose, and I see no reason why the requested amendment would prejudice Defendants or cause undue delay, and because no Defendant filed an objection to Plaintiff's request, the request is granted. Plaintiff shall serve its Second Amended Complaint on or before December 21, 2018. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 12/18/2018) (rj)
