Date Filed Document Text
March 1, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 17 ORDER: Plaintiff's motion to voluntarily dismiss this action in GRANTED. This dismissal will be with prejudice. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close this case. The case conference scheduled for March 4, 2021 is hereby canceled. (Signed by Judge Edgardo Ramos on 3/1/2021) (mro)
February 25, 2021 Filing 16 LETTER addressed to Judge Edgardo Ramos from M. Tatas, dated 2/25/21 re: I am writing to request that the Court voluntarily dismiss this case without prejudice in its entirety in Federal Court and be entitled to ask for permission to file a motion to remand the case to the State Court due to the lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Because defamation arises under state law and both parties are residing in the same state, there is no reason to bring this case to the Federal Court. Document filed by Mehmet Emin Tatas.(sc)
February 24, 2021 Filing 15 LETTER addressed to Judge Edgardo Ramos from Diane Krebs dated February 24, 2021 re: Defamation. Document filed by Ali Baba's Terrace Inc., Ali Riza Dogan..(Krebs, Diane)
February 21, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER: Plaintiff's request to withdraw his 1983 claim is GRANTED. However, if Plaintiff amends this action to bring a defamation claim instead, this Court would likely have no jurisdiction over the action. Defamation arises under state law and the Court would be without a federal cause of action that could provide a basis for supplemental jurisdiction over any defamation claim. Cf. Briarpatch Ltd., L.P. v. Phoenix Pictures, Inc., 373 F.3d 296, 308 (2d Cir. 2004) (Courts have supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims when they are so related to a federal question that they form part of the same case or controversy). Thus, given Plaintiff's desire to withdraw his sole 1983 claim, Plaintiff has two options. He may: Voluntarily dismiss this case in its entirety, without prejudice to file a defamation suit in state court if he chooses; or Show cause in writing, by no later than February 26, 2021, as to why his proposed amended complaint would not be futile because the Court would lack jurisdiction over it. If he does so, Defendants may reply to his submission by March 3, 2021 by 5:00 pm. If Plaintiff does not voluntarily dismiss this case, the conference currently scheduled for March 4 will remain on the calendar to discuss the parties' submissions. Finally, given Plaintiff's withdrawal of the 1983 claim, Defendants' anticipated motion to dismiss (currently due March 1, 2021) is now moot. In the event another complaint is filed in this case, Defendants may renew their request to file a motion to dismiss according to this Court's individual practices. (Signed by Judge Edgardo Ramos on 2/22/2021) (mro)
February 17, 2021 Filing 13 LETTER addressed to Judge Edgardo Ramos from M. Tatas, dated 2/17/21 re: I would like to withdraw the Section 1983 and malicious prosecution claims and request to file an amended to leave the defamation as the only claim to proceed on this case, because the plaintiff does not have legal knowledge and was confused about the appropriate statutes to bring the claims under..
