MEMO ENDORSEMENT on NOTICE OF MOTION: denying #32 Motion re: #32 MOTION for Order directing urgent service of the Amended Complaint on the Defendant by the U.S. Marshal re: #31 Amended Complaint. ENDORSEMENT: Application Denied. I do not find reason to require the U.S. Marshals Service to prioritize the service of these materials over their other duties. However, given that Columbia University has already filed several letters in this matter, (see, e.g., Docs. 8, 9, 24), and Plaintiff has mailed a waiver of service, Columbia University should consider whether there are conditions under which it might accept service without imposing a further burden on the Marshals. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 1/26/2023) (ama)

LETTER addressed to Judge Vernon S. Broderick from J. A. Campbell,a dated 1/25/23 re: "WAIVER OF SUMMONS" - By signing and returning the waiver form, defendant is allowed more time to respond than if a Summons had been served. Therefore, there is no reason for the defendant to not grant my request. I have attached a USPS postage receipt as proof of mailing(as indicated) with a tracking number for the defendant's convenience. Document filed by Jody-Ann Campbell.(sc)

ORDER denying as moot #18 Motion re: #18 MOTION for an increase in plaintiff's compensation to $100 million dollars, in one lump sum payment, with no other stipulations or binding agreements etc.., #19 MOTION to Serve. ; denying as moot #19 Motion to Serve. Ms. Campbell has since indicated that the order of service entered in this matter and her intention to file an amended complaint moot her motions. (Doc. 26, at 2.) These requests are therefore denied as moot. Columbia University's motion to transfer this action as a related case is denied. Rule 13(a)(2)(B) of the Rules for the Division of Business Among District Judges, Southern District of New York ("Rule 13") provides that "civil cases presumptively shall not be deemed related unless both cases are pending before the Court." As Campbell's prior case has been terminated and is no longer pending, the presumption is that these cases are not related. I do not find any reason to disturb this presumption. Campbell's initial case was a pro se matter which was dismissed sua sponte by Chief Judge Swain in her capacity as chief judge. Transferring the present case would thus create no efficiencies and would unreasonably burden the Chief Judge. Accordingly, I do not find the presumption against relatedness overcome. Finally, Campbell states that she will file an amended complaint after attorneys for Columbia University notice an appearance and file a motion to dismiss. (Doc. 26, at 1.) When a plaintiff files an amended complaint after a defendant moves to dismiss, a district court may deny the first motion to dismiss as moot and permit the defendant to file a new motion to dismiss addressing the amended complaint. See, e.g., Pettaway v. Nat'l Recovery Sols., LLC, 955 F.3d 299, 303-04 (2d Cir. 2020) ("[W]hen a plaintiff properly amends [a] complaint after a defendant has filed a motion to dismiss that is still pending, the district court has the option of either denying the pending motion as moot or evaluating the motion in light of the facts alleged in the amended complaint.") Thus, while I will not dictate Campbell's litigation strategy, this matter will proceed most efficiently if she files her amended complaint at her earliest convenience. This will avoid the need for multiple rounds of briefing. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motions at Docs. 18 and 19. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 1/24/2023) (kv)

LETTER addressed to Judge Vernon S. Broderick from J.A. Campbell, dated 1/19/23 re: "TREATMENT" - It is now 1/19/23, and the defendant has still not offered me a settlement. I had a doctor's appointment on 1/18/23, and it was concluded that I will be in treatment until July 2024. Since a treatment plan has been developed, it is no longer my desire to be seen by any medical professionals at Columbia University. Document filed by Jody-Ann Campbell.(sc)

LETTER addressed to Judge Vernon S. Broderick from J. A. Campbell, dated 1/10/23 re: "RESPONSE TO MR. HAGGERTY" - It appears that the defendant wants me to dismiss this complaint and file another complaint only accusing Columbia University for the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress etc. They are seeking dismissal and transfer based on the fact that I filed this lawsuit twice. There is no need to re-assign this case, and there is no need to dismiss this case etc. Document filed by Jody-Ann Campbell.(sc)

ORDER OF SERVICE: The Court grants Plaintiff's request (ECF 12) to dismiss Defendants Zelon Crawford and Trudy Stapleton-Truglia from this action. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate as parties to this action Crawford and Stapleton-Truglia. The Clerk of Court is further instructed to issue a summons for Defendant Columbia University, complete a USM-285 form with the address for this defendant, and deliver all documents necessary to effect service to the U.S. Marshals Service. The Clerk of Court is also directed to mail an information package to Plaintiff. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED. Zelon Crawford and Trudy Stapleton-Truglia terminated. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 1/9/2023) (va) Transmission to Pro Se Assistants for processing.

LETTER addressed to Judge Vernon S. Broderick from J.A. Campbell dated 1/6/23 re: "OPENING STATEMENT"- Your Honor, this is nothing other than the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, and that is the only reason why I am here( in the psychiatric facility). The defense will try to say that Zelon Crawford made a mistake when she denied me the fellowship etc. You have a lot of background information in this case. However, that call alone is enough to hold Columbia University liable and award me compensation. Document filed by Jody-Ann Campbell.(sc)

LETTER from J. A. Campbell, dated 1/5/23 re: I have told you that Mr. Haggerty's explanation of the call to the police being a "welfare check" was a lie, and I just wanted to update you on that proof. A letter was filed explaining how Columbia has not offered to give me medical treatment. It has been 48 hours and Mr. Haggerty has not responded etc. My evidence is overwelming, and this case does not even have to go to trial. Document filed by Jody-Ann Campbell.(sc)

LETTER from J. A. Campbell, dated 12/8/22 re: "THEORY FOR COLUMBIA'S LACK OF RESPONSE" - I have not been talking about this case to anyone. I have not slandered Columbia, Trudy, Zelon, or any other faculty member giving them grounds to sue me for defamation etc. I only asked for $50,000 because I only cared about covering my medical bills and moving on with my life, but now, they have gone too far, and I am unequivocally suffering for it.

LETTER from J. A. Campbell, dated 12/7/22 re: "EVIDENCE AGAINST ZELON CRAWFORD'S ACCIDENT CLAIM" - Zelon's covert attempts to hide her unwarranted disdain for me cannot be more openly acknowledged than in the email I will attach for the Court's review etc. Please take a look at this email. If Zelon Crawford is in charge of student wellness, why would she be thanking me for asking for a refund, instead of apologizing that her office could not do more?
