Filing 199
ORDER: I have today received a letter from counsel for Plaintiffs which indicates that he has sent out discovery requests to various parties -- most of them school districts that have not yet appeared in this action, because the court stayed the entire lawsuit, except as against the City of New York, while considering whether a variety of threshold issues raised by the court or in the few motions to dismiss already filed warranted a considerable pruning, if not outright dismissal, of this action. In case Mr. Albert and his organization did not understand me, the court's order was NO DISCOVERY MAY TAKE PLACE. Plaintiffs' counsel may believe that he needs discovery in order to make further response to the court's orders to show cause and/or the papers filed by the City of New York, but the court has taken the position that no such discovery will be allowed. Plaintiffs' counsel may seek to justify his request by telling school districts that have not yet appeared in this action that they can get out from under this lawsuit by giving him information, but to this court that is a discovery request, and he is in direct violation of a court order by seeking such information. Counsel is well aware that this court is considering dismissal of this action against every party ostensibly sued; he has been ordered to stand down while these matters are considered; his behavior borders on the contumacious. Therefore, no party or putative party to this lawsuit needs to, or should, respond to Plaintiffs' out of order discovery requests. Plaintiffs' counsel must immediately return, without making copies, any discovery that he has received from any party to whom such a request was sent. The court does not need to consider, and will not consider, such material in deciding the issues presently under review. Just so the parties are aware, the court is within days of issuing an opinion in this matter that will dispose of many issues. Until that time there is to be no activity whatever in connection with this lawsuit - aside from the return of any discovery materials that were not to have been requested or produced. None.

ORDER DIRECTING FURTHER RESPONSE: Whether the plaintiffs have a viable RICO claim may affect whether the complaint can or should be dismissed as to most defendants for want of personal jurisdiction. I will, therefore, give the plaintiffs seven business days, or until October 29, 2020, to address the sufficiency of the RICO claim they wish to add to the complaint and that they outlined in the RICO case statement. If there is some reason to obtain further argument from the City of New York, I will ask for it after I see the plaintiffs' papers. (Signed by Judge P. Kevin Castel on 10/19/2020) (jwh)

Filing 145
ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND ADDRESSING THE ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ISSUED BY THE COURT ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 denying #134 Letter Motion to Seal. In response to the September 14 Order to Show Cause, Mr. Albert filed - under seal - a list of the 199 impartial due process hearings commenced on behalf of putative class members. (Docket #142.) He filed all pertinent retainer agreements with the court (filed ex parte at Docket #143, 144) and represented that all of the agreements were "virtually identical." (Docket #133 at 2.) Mr. Albert also filed a motion for permission to file these documents under seal, presumably to protect the identity of the minor children involved. (Docket #134.) Motion to File Under Seal (Docket # 134) The motion to file under seal is DENIED. The retainer agreements that were filed with the court contain the names of the children receiving services under IDEA, which must be redacted. So must the names of their parents (which should be indicated by initials, as they normally are in IDEA case filings) and the parents' email addresses. But the terms of the retainer agreement contain nothing that could possibly be deemed "confidential information," and there is no reason for these documents to be filed under seal if they are properly redacted. Similarly the list of the due process hearings that BIRG has initiated, purportedly pursuant to those retainer agreements, can be redacted to remove the names of the children and the full names of the parents, and can otherwise be filed without sealing. Unredacted originals should of course be filed under seal, but that does not excuse the failure to file publicly so much of these documents as does not reveal the identity of a child with a learning disability. The Order to Show Cause Dated September 14, 2020 (Docket # 128) The court has reviewed the retainer agreements and finds the argument that they authorize the commencement of impartial due process hearings on behalf of individual children deeply troubling, as further set forth. The Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint (Docket #133) In his September 16 letter, Mr. Albert seeks leave to amend the complaint in order to add some named plaintiffs and drop others, as well as to amplify his RICO allegations in light of his RICO case statement. (Docket #133 at 2.) The motion is denied without prejudice. Fed. R. Civ. P. 1 requires this court to make sure that this action is disposed of in the most just, speedy, and inexpensive manner possible. Allowing an amendment of the complaint at this juncture would accomplish none of the above. The City of New York has filed its motion to dismiss the complaint on the merits and that motion is addressed to the complaint already on file. I intend to rule on that motion before we start amending pleadings, because the City has already gone to the trouble of responding to the original complaint and its response raises serious substantive issues that would not be cured by the proposed amendments. Indeed, once that motion is decided, it could render further amendment futile, in whole or in part. Additionally, the court has yet to rule on BIRG's responses to the court's Order to Show Cause dated September 2, 2020. (Docket #84, 122, 123, 124) That ruling may well eliminate much of what is contained in the current pleading and could require substantial further amendment of the pleading as a result. In order to eliminate the very real possibility of serial amendments, this court intends to see what can be pruned permanently from this case as originally filed. The amendments proposed by BIRG will not address any of these issues. The addition or subtraction of named plaintiffs need not take place at this moment. And there is no reason to amend the complaint to conform its bare bones RICO allegations to the RICO case statement that was recently filed. Under this court's individual rules, the civil RICO statement is considered to be part of and integral to the complaint; it is something that I consider on a motion to dismiss. I will address the matters set forth at Docket # 121, 122, 123 and 124 in the same opinion in which I deal with the City's motion to dismiss the complaint. Mr. Albert should get his response to that motion in promptly. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 9/22/2020) (mml)

ORDER granting #62 FIRST LETTER MOTION for Extension of Time. Plaintiffs have until Friday at noon to identify by full name and birth date any student whose identity has been requested by the Corporation Counsel. Just name and birth date - nothing more. Whether this information is really necessary in order for NYCDOE to respond on the merits to Plaintiffs' claim for a preliminary injunction is not at all clear to me, but I am not going to dictate to the City what should and should not be in its response. By the way, there will be no TRO; Judge Woods did not grant one, no separate application for a TRO has been made to me, and I would not grant one if it were. I have no intention of ordering the New York City schools to do anything during a pandemic on the basis of an ex parte application, especially when I have already identified what appear to me to be numerous defects in the pleading that commences the lawsuit. I grant the City's motion for a two week adjournment of its time to file a response to the motion for a preliminary injunction. Plaintiffs have other things to do between now and September 11. They must file their reply to the City's response on the preliminary injunction motion by September 25. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 9/2/2020) (jca)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. The court harbors considerable doubt that it has jurisdiction over any school district in any state other than New York, where it sits. Therefore, Plaintiffs are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in a brief of no more than ten double spaced pages, why the complaint should not be dismissed as against all school districts from the other 49 states, and as further specified in paragraph 1 of this Order to Show Cause. Many of the school districts in New York State lie in districts other than this one. Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in a brief of no more than ten double spaced pages, why venue is proper in this district as to any school district located in the Eastern, Western or Northern Districts of New York, and as further specified in paragraph 2 of this Order to Show Cause. Plaintiffs are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in a brief of no more than ten double spaced pages, why all Defendants other than the New York City Department of Education should not be severed and the complaint dismissed against them, without prejudice to the institution of individual actions against any district that is allegedly refusing to comply with IDEA during the pandemic. These briefs are due to be filed with the court no later than Friday, September 11, 2020. All briefing by any Defendant on Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction is stayed, except as to the New York City Department of Education, over which the court has undoubted jurisdiction, as to which venue is proper, and as to which any lawsuit is properly filed in the Foley Square courthouse in the Southern District of New York. The City must file its opposition to the preliminary injunction motion and any motions addressed to the sufficiency of the complaint on the schedule previously set by the court. After Plaintiffs file the briefs required in paragraphs 1-3, the court will consider whether responses are necessary and, if they are, how and from whom they should be obtained. Plaintiff's counsel should immediate see to it that all papers that have been addressed to any judge of this court are filed on ECF. Failure to remedy this omission will result in sanctions. (Brief due by 9/11/2020). (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 9/2/2020). BY ECF TO ALL PARTIES. (rjm)

ORDER: denying without prejudice #35 Letter Motion for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply. Application denied without prejudice. The Court has reviewed this letter motion and the similar letter motion filed at Dkt No.32. While framed as requests for "clarity," the applications functionally ask the Court to advise the applicants whether they have been properly served with the complaint, and to provide guidance regarding whether the claims against them have merit. The Court cannot determine whether any party has been properly served based on these letter motions. The Court expects that each of the applicants can draw its own conclusions about whether it has been properly served based on the relevant statutes and, if not, what consequences flow from that failure, and develop a litigation strategy based on its analysis. The Court expresses no view about whether the parties have been properly served or on the merits of Plaintiffs' claims at this stage in the litigation. The application for an extension of the deadlines in the Court's order to show cause, Dkt No. 29, in this letter motion and the similar letter motion at Dkt No. 32 is denied. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motions pending at Dkt Nos. 32 and 35. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 8/27/2020) (ama)
