July 29, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 112 LETTER addressed to Judge Jesse M.

Document filed by Donna Costa(in herindividual capacity), Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings America, Inc., Nicolas Oliva(in his inidividual capacity)..(Primavera, Brittany)
July 26, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 111 ORDER: Counsel are reminded that they must submit a joint status letter on ECF no later than the Thursday prior to the conference, the contents of which are described in the Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order. ECF No. 51. In their joint letter, the parties should also indicate whether they believe they can do without a conference altogether. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the conference remains in effect and will be held in person in Courtroom 1105 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, NY. (If counsel believe that the conference should be held by telephone, they should - in accordance with Rule 2(B) of the Court's Individual Rules and Practices promptly file a letter motion to that effect. Any such letter motion should indicate other dates and times during the week of the conference when counsel would be available.) Additionally, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, all existing dates and deadlines - including, as appropriate, the deadlines for summary judgment motions and/or a proposed joint pretrial order, as set forth in the Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order - remain in effect. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 7/26/2021) (rro)
July 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 110 ORDER denying #108 Letter Motion for Extension of Time to Complete Discovery. Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, "[a] schedule may be modified only for good cause and with the judge's consent." Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). "A finding of good cause depends on the diligence of the moving party." Grochowski v. Phoenix Const., 318 F.3d 80, 86 (2d Cir. 2003). Here, Plaintiff cannot, and does not, show good cause -- substantially for the reasons set forth in Defendant's response (Docket No. 109). Most significantly, Plaintiff concedes that she did not do any discovery between January and May of this year because she chose to focus on settlement instead -- despite the Court's specific warning in the Case Management Plan that, "[u]nless the Court orders otherwise, parties engaged in settlement negotiations must proceed on parallel tracks, pursuing settlement and conducting discovery simultaneously. Parties should not assume that they will receive an extension of an existing deadline if settlement negotiations fail." (Docket No. 51). Having unilaterally made the choice to put discovery on hold, and having failed to conscientiously seek the discovery that she nows claims is essential, Plaintiff must now live with the consequences of those choices. Accordingly, the motion for extension is DENIED. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate Docket No. 108. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 7/22/21) (yv)

November 23, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 102 STIPULATION AND ORDER: IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the below named attorneys as follows: The discovery end date in the above captioned matter will be extended from December 30, 2020 until July 30, 2021 for the reasons set forth herein, subject to the Court's approval. On June 30, 2020, the parties filed a joint stipulation seeking an extension of the discovery end date in this matter, due to considerations relating to the COVID outbreak and the pendency of Defendant Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation's ("MCHC") Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint (the "Motion"). At that time, the parties respectfully requested an opportunity to depose the individuals named in this action in person, and noted that, given then-current state and city guidelines, as well as personal health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the parties would be unable to be accomplish that under the then-current deadlines in this matter. The parties now respectfully request a further extension of the discovery end date until July 30, 2021. The parties believe such an extension is warranted because circumstances relating to the COVID-19 pandemic have not materially changed since the parties' previousextension request, and, in addition, the Motion remains pending. The parties are cautioned that no further extensions are likely to be granted on account ofthe pandemic. Put differently, assuming the Court decides the pending motion and the depositions need to be taken, the parties should confer in good faith about taking them remotely in the event that in-person depositions are not feasible by July 30, 2021. In light of the discovery extension, the pretrial conference currently scheduled for January 21, 2021 is ADJOURNED to August 5, 2021 at 3:15 p.m. SO ORDERED., ( Discovery due by 7/30/2021., Pretrial Conference set for 8/5/2021 at 03:15 PM before Judge Jesse M. Furman.) (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 11/23/2020) (ama)

July 12, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 36 NOTICE OF INITIAL PRETRIAL CONFERENCE: Initial Conference set for 9/5/2019 at 04:00 PM in Courtroom (As further set forth in this order) (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 7/12/2019) (ne)
July 11, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 35 OPINION AND ORDER. In sum, for the reasons stated above, Defendants' motion for reconsideration is DENIED and their motion to dismiss is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Specifically, Defendants' motion to dismiss is granted to the extent it seeks to dismiss Fischman's claims for retaliation under New York Labor Law 215, for intentional infliction of emotional distress, and for "Negligent Destruction of Plaintiffs' Employment Opportunities," and it is otherwise denied. Fischman is granted leave to amend her Complaint to address the deficiency in her retaliation claim, in part because the deficiency is one that Defendants arguably did not even identify in their motion. The Court declines to grant Fischman leave to amend with respect to the other two claims, however, because she does not suggest that she possesses any additional facts that could remedy the defects in those claims and any such amendment would undoubtedly be futile. See, e.g., Cuoco v. Moritsugu, 222 F.3d 99, 112 (2d Cir. 2000) (holding that a district court may dismiss without granting leave to amend when the problems with the plaintiffs claims are "substantive," where "better pleading will not cure" them, and thus, where repleading would be "futile"); Clark v. Kitt, No. 12-CV-8061 (CS), 2014 WL 4054284, at *15 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 15, 2014) (denying leave to amend where the plaintiff did not request permission to amend or "give[] any indication that [s]he is in possession of facts that would cure the problems identified in this [O]pinion"). Fischman shall file any amended complaint within two weeks of this Opinion and Order. To the extent that Defendants seek to redact from their motion papers any information that appears publicly in the Complaint, that request is also DENIED. To the extent that Defendants seek to redact other information, they shall request that it be redacted in accordance with the Court's Individual Rules and Practices within one week of the date of this Opinion and Order. In the absence of such a request, also within one week of the date of this Opinion, Defendants shall file their heretofore sealed motion papers on the docket. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate Docket Nos. 25 and 28. SO ORDERED. re: #28 MOTION for Reconsideration filed by Nicolas Oliva, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings America, Inc., Donna Costa, #25 FIRST MOTION to Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint filed by Nicolas Oliva, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings America, Inc., Donna Costa.

December 4, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 27 ORDER: Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff shall file any amended complaint by January 4, 2019. Plaintiff will not be given any further opportunity to amend the complaint to address issues raised by the motion to dismiss. If Plaintiff does amend, by three (3) weeks after the amended complaint is filed, Defendant shall: (1) file an answer; (2) file a new motion to dismiss; or (3) submit a letter to the Court, copying Plaintiff, stating that it relies on the previously filed motion to dismiss. If Defendants file an answer or a new motion to dismiss, the Court will deny the previously filed motion to dismiss as moot. It is further ORDERED that if no amended complaint is filed, Plaintiff shall serve any opposition to the motion to dismiss by January 4, 2019. Defendants' reply, if any, shall be served by January 11, 2019. At the time any reply is served, the moving party shall supply the Court with one courtesy hard copy of all motion papers by mailing or delivering them to the United States Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York. Finally, it is further ORDERED that the initial pretrial conference scheduled for December 20, 2018 (see Docket No. 4) is adjourned sine die. SO ORDERED. (Amended Pleadings due by 1/4/2019.) (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 12/4/2018) (ne)
December 4, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 26 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #24 Motion to Seal Documents. Defendants' motion is denied to the extent it pertains to the Complaint, as the cat is long out of the bag. Defendants have known about the publicly filed complaint since at least September (see Docket No. #8 ), and they provide no explanation, let alone justification, why they waited over two months to seek the relief they are seeking. That delay belies their claims of harm and, in light of that delay, the presumption in favor of public access outweighs any countervailing interests. Defendants' motion is granted temporarily to the extent that it pertains to their motion papers. The Court will decide whether the proposed redactions are proper (mindful of what information is already in the public domain because of the complaint) when deciding the underlying motion. (HEREBY ORDERED by Judge Jesse M. Furman)(Text Only Order) (Furman, Jesse)
