May 15, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 708 ORDER: On April 15, 2014, the Parties filed Motions in Limine in anticipation of the upcoming trial. (See Dkt. Nos. 686 (Defs.' Mot.), 691 (Pl.'s Mot.).) The Court held oral argument on May 13, 2014 to discuss certain of the issues raised in the Motions. (See Dkt.) For reasons that will be explained later, the Court grants Plaintiff's Motions in part and denies Defendants' Motions in part. Specifically, it grants Plaintiff's Motion to exclude three of Defendants' proposed experts - namely, a forensic pathologist, a legal expert, and a police practices expert - to the extent these experts would offer testimony in support of Defendants' apportionment defense at trial. (See Pl.'s Omnibus Mot. in Limine ("Pl.'s Mem.") 19-21 (Dkt. No. 691).) And it denies Defendants' Motion to amend their Answer in light of Defendants' request that the jury apportion fault at trial. (See Mem. of Law in Supp. of Defs. Daniel Stephens' and Putnam County's Mot. in Limine ("Defs.' Mem.") 7-12 (Dkt. No. 693); see also Reply Mem. of Law in Further Supp. of Defs.' Mot. in Limine ("Defs.' Reply") 8 (Dkt. No. 697) ("[S]hould the court require that a formal motion to amend be filed, Defendants Daniel Stephens and Putnam County respectfully request that their Motion in Limine be treated as the same.").) However, the denial of Defendants' Motion is without prejudice to Defendants to file a motion for leave to amend their Answer to assert an affirmative defense of entitlement to a post-verdict setoff. Finally, because the Court rules that Defendants may not ask the jury to apportion fault at trial, the Court also grants Plaintiffs Motion to exclude Defendants' evidence of third-party conduct to the extent that such evidence would be relevant only to the apportionment issue. (See Pl.'s Mem. 2-8.) SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 5/15/2014) (lnl)

Pudell dated 4/9/2013 re: The City of Peekskill (the "City") responds to the March 25, 2013 pre-motion letter of the Insurance Companies (except Zurich American Insurance Company) as follows.The Insurance Companies believe that the City, having purchased millions of dollars of non-expiring insurance coverage, is entitled to only a fraction of that coverage. The Court must -decide which insurance policies are triggered by the Plaintiffs' allegations.ENDORSEMENT: The clerk of the court is respectfully requested to docket this letter. So Ordered. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 4/7/2013) (jty) Modified on 4/18/2013 (jty).
April 3, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 577 ORDER: Following a conference with the Parties, on November 29, 2012, the Court issued an Order addressing several specific discovery requests made by Defendants the City of Peekskill, David Levine, and Thomas McIntyre (collectively, "the Peekskill Defendants"). (Dkt. No. 542.) The Court now turns to three discovery issues that remain outstanding from those requests. First, the Court declined to compel the release of Plaintiff's Presentence Investigation Report based on considerations of comity, and directed the Peekskill Defendants to file their request with the sentencing state court from the underlying criminal action. (Id.) The sentencing court subsequently authorized the release of the Presentence Investigation Report, (Dkt. No. 558), and this Court has delivered copies to the Parties. Second, this Court declined to release Plaintiff Jeffrey Deskovic's Mental Health Report, but granted leave to the Parties to brief the issue more thoroughly. The Parties failed to renew their request by the Court's deadline, however, and the Peekskill Defendants' prior request for the Plaintiffs Mental Health Report is accordingly denied. Third, the Court noted that Parts II and III of Plaintiff's Inmate Status Report (or, "ISR") appear to be privileged "intra-agency materials" under the New York Public Officers Law and/or under New York Compilation of Codes and Regulations Title 9, 8000.5(c) (2)(i)(a). The Court therefore requested that New York Department of Correction submit an affidavit expressly asserting or waiving that privilege. (Dkt. No. 542.) Craig Mausler, Assistant Counsel for the New York State Board of Parole, responded on January 24,2013, asserting that "[P]arts II and III [of the ISR] are exempt from disclosure as intra-agency materials containing evaluative opinion information" under both of the above cited provisions, and further explaining that refusing to disclose these portions of inmate status reports "has been the standard procedure" of the Board of Parole. (Craig Mausler Aff. 3.) Based on his further review of Plaintiff's ISR, Mausler indicated that the entirety of Part II was privileged, (id. 6-7), but admitted that with respect to Part III, "the only portion...that should be withheld is the first full paragraph without parentheses as found in part 3," (id. 9). The Parties then requested delivery of "those portions of the Inmate Status Report that Mr. Mausler has agreed should be released," as well as the "release [of] any other portion of the Inmate Status Report that the Court, after an in camera review, deems subject to disclosure." (Letter from Lalit K. Loomba to the Court (Feb. 7, 20 13); see also Letter from Nick Brustin to the Court (Feb. 5, 2013).) Parts II and III of an inmate status report "contain psychological information and evaluations... by parole officers, together with a service plan follow-up for field staff personnel," and "New York courts have declined to provide access to these confidential portions of Parole Division [i]nmate [s]tatus [r]eports." Rossney v. Travis, No. 00-CV-4562, 2003 WL 135692, at *12 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 17, 2003), aff'd 93 F. App'x 285 (2d Cir. 2004). Due to the nature of this case, Federal law governs the assertion of evidentiary privileges, see Auersperg ex rel. Von Bulow v. von Bulow, 811 F.2d 136, 141 (2d Cir. 1987), but federal courts nonetheless must give due consideration to state evidentiary privileges based on the principle of comity, see King v. Conde, 121 F.R.D.l80, 187 (E.D.N.Y.1988). It is thus the Court's task to "balance the deference to be accorded state-created privileges with the need for the information sought to be protected by the privilege." Rossney, 2003 WL 135692, at *12. Therefore, if either the Peekskill Defendants or Plaintiff were to show "good cause" for the disclosure of Parts II and III of Plaintiff's ISR, then the intra-agency materials privilege "would yield if [it was] outweighed by a federal interest in presenting relevant evidence to a trier of fact." Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). Here, as in Rossney, the Parties have "failed to proffer" a sufficient basis "for believing that the material contained in the in camera submissions" is necessary to the issues that will be before the relevant finder of fact, id. In Rossney, a habeas petitioner sought the privileged portions of his inmate status report, based on the conclusory assertion that he might find a basis for vacating a Parole Board decision therein. See id. The court reviewed the materials and independently determined that "they would not support a decision...vacating the Parole Board decision." Id. Here, Defendants seek the privileged portions of Plaintiff's ISR, because Plaintiff "put in issue in this case both his mental health and the history of years in which he was held in custody"; because "these documents might lead to the discovery of admissible evidence"; and because the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure promote "the broad scope of discovery." (Letter from Lalit K. Loomba to the Court (May 9, 2012).) But Defendants have not identified any particular need for these portions of Plaintiffs ISR, with respect to liability, damages, or their defenses. Moreover, the Court has reviewed the requested materials in camera and can find nothing compelling or unique that overcomes New York state's interest in protecting agency decision making. Indeed, at least some paragraphs in Plaintiff's ISR are based on information contained in the Presentence Investigation Report, which has already been disclosed to the Parties. Based on these considerations, the Court will not disclose Part II of Plaintiff's ISR and will disclose only those portions of Part III with respect to which Mr. Mausler waived the intra-agency materials privilege. Due to the sensitive nature of the materials to be disclosed, the Parties should arrange for in-person retrieval of the documents. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 4/3/2013) (lnl)

On January 18,2007, the Westchester County Department of Laboratories and Research concluded that the semen in A.C.'s body at the crime scene came from Steven Cunningham, after testing a DNA sample taken directly from Mr. Cunningham;5. The parties agree this proves that the semen found in the body of A.C. at the crime scene came from Steven Cunningham,6. Steven Cunningham is a 50 year old African-American man. 7. On September 18,2006, Steven Cunningham confessed to raping and murdering A.C. on November 15,1989; 8. At the time of his confession, Steven Cunningham was already serving a sentence of 20 years to life for murdering Patricia Morrison on April 22, 1993; 9. Steven Cunningham was prosecuted by the Westchester County DistrictAttorney's Office for the rape and murder of A.C; 10. On September 18,2006 Steven Cunningham testified under oath that he committed the crime against A.C. alone;11. On September 21,2006 Steven Cunningham testified under oath that he had never met nor had any contact with Jeffrey Deskovic; 12.
