March 13, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 89 ORDER re: #77 Case Management Plan. The parties are reminded that, per the Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order ("CMP"), ECF No. 77, counsel should submit their joint status letter on ECF no later than the Thursday prior to the upcoming pretrial conference. The letter should address, in addition to the issues set forth in the CMP, whether the parties can do without a conference altogether. 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 CMP remain in effect. If, after reviewing the parties' joint status letter, the Court concludes that a conference is unnecessary at this time, it will issue an order canceling or rescheduling it. If a conference is held, it will be by telephone and may be scheduled for a different time. To that end, counsel should indicate in their joint status letter dates and times during the week of the currently scheduled conference that they would be available for a telephone conference. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise, however, the conference will proceed and will do so on the date and time previously set. In the event a conference is held, the parties should join it by calling the Court's dedicated conference line at (888) 363-4749 and using access code 542-1540, followed by the pound (#) key. Further, counsel should review and comply with the procedures for telephone conferences set forth in the Court's Individual Rules and Practices for Civil Cases, available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-jesse-m-furman, including Rule 3(B)(i), which requires the parties, no later than 24 hours before the conference, to send a joint email to the Court with the names and honorifics (e.g., Mr., Ms., Dr., etc.) of counsel who may speak during the teleconference and the telephone numbers from which counsel expect to join the call.

November 18, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 84 STIPULATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER ...regarding procedures to be followed that shall govern the handling of confidential material...This stipulation binds the parties to treat as confidential the documents so classified. This Court, however, has not reviewed the documents referenced herein; therefore, by so ordering this stipulation, the Court makes no finding as to whether the documents are confidential.

To that end, the Court does not so order any provision to the extent that it purports to authorize the parties to file documents under seal without a prior court order. See New York ex rel. Khurana v. Spherion Corp., No. 15-CV-6605 (JMF), 2019 WL 3294170 (S.D.N.Y. July 19, 2019). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 11/18/22) (yv) Modified on 12/21/2022 (yv).

To that end, counsel should indicate in their joint letter dates and times during the week of the conference that they would be available for a telephone conference. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise, however, the conference will proceed and will do so on the date and time previously set. In the event a conference is held, the parties should join it by calling the Court's dedicated conference line at (888) 363-4749 and using access code 542-1540, followed by the pound (#) key.

August 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 59 SCHEDULING ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the initial pretrial conference in this matter, which was previously adjourned sine die, see ECF No. 25, is RESCHEDULED for October 19, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. The conference will be held remotely by telephone in accordance with Paragraph 2.B of the Court's Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases. The parties should join the conference by calling the Court's dedicated conference line at (888) 363-4749 and using access code 542-1540, followed by the pound (#) key. SO ORDERED. ( Initial Conference set for 10/19/2022 at 04:00 PM before Judge Jesse M. Furman.) (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 8/10/22) (yv)
August 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 58 OPINION AND ORDER re: #41 MOTION to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction and for Failure to State a Claim Upon Which Relief Can Be Granted. filed by Anthony R. Malloy, Katherine OBrien, New York Life Insurance Company, Robert J. Hynes, Arthur A. Seter, Scott L. Lenz, Yie-Hsin Hung, Boards of Trustees of the New York Life Insurance Employee Progress Sharing Investment Plan and the New York Life Insurance Company Agents Progress Sharing Plan. Defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. In particular, the Court dismisses: The claims of Plaintiffs Musni, Bendrihem, Gilbert, and Medici with respect to the Fixed Dollar Account, without prejudice, for lack of standing; The claims of Plaintiffs Krohnengold, Antoine, and Webber for breach of fiduciary duties related to the Fixed Dollar Account; Plaintiffs' claims for breach of fiduciary duties in Count One based on the MacKay International Equity Fund; and Plaintiffs' claims for violation of ERISA's anti-inurement provision in Count Five, with leave to amend. Otherwise, the Court denies Defendants' motion. The Court is mindful that leave to amend a complaint should be "freely give[n]... when justice so requires," Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2), and that it is "within the sound discretion of the district court to grant or deny leave to amend," Ahmed v. GEO USA LLC, No. 14-CV-7486 (JMF), 2015 WL 1408895, at *5 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 27, 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted). Here, Plaintiffs may well be able to cure some of the deficiencies identified above. (In particular, Plaintiffs may be able to clarify that their fiduciary duty claims with respect to the Fixed Dollar Account do implicate conduct within the relevant six-year period.) Accordingly, the Court exercises its discretion to grant Plaintiffs leave to amend the claims that have been dismissed. See, e.g., Moreira v. Societe Generale, S.A., 573 F. Supp. 3d 921, 934 (S.D.N.Y. 2021). Plaintiffs shall file any Second Amended Complaint within four weeks of the date of this Opinion and Order. If Plaintiffs do so, Defendants shall answer or otherwise respond within three weeks of the date on which Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint is filed. If Plaintiffs fail to file a Second Amended Complaint, Defendants shall answer Plaintiffs' remaining claims within six weeks of the date of this Opinion and Order. By separate Order to be issued today, the Court will reschedule an initial pretrial conference. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF No. 41. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 8/9/22) (yv)
