[Dkt. 546, pp. 2-3.] As the ICDs concede, however, such a reque st is ordinarily addressed to the state court as a matter of comity. [Dkt. 546, p.2, fn.1.] The ICDs should therefore direct their request to the state court. If the ICDs believe that a particular judge has a conflict of interest, they are free to request that the matter be referred to another judge. SO ORDERED. (Telephone Conference set for 6/8/2021 at 02:30 PM before Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison.) (Signed by Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison on 6/2/2021) (kv)

April 14, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 539 ORDER granting 519 Motion to Compel; granting in part and denying in part 521 Motion to Compel; terminating 522 Motion for Extension of Time; terminating 523 Motion to Compel. This Order addresses discovery disputes outlined in Dk ts. 519, 521, 523, 531, and 532. The Court heard argument on April 9, 2021. Familiarity with the record is assumed. Putnam's motion is GRANTED to the extent that Plaintiff shall, within 5 business days, provide signed Form 4506 forms, al ong with the required identification documents, sufficient to release from IRS copies of the pertinent tax records. The Individual County Defendants' ("ICD's") motion to compel is GRANTED to the extent that plaintiff shall search for and produce all communications with investigators (including reports, text messages, and emails including any attachments) relating to his representation of Lani Zaimi, to the extent that such communications were previously obtained by law enforcement or the Putnam District Attorney during the underlying criminal investigation of plaintiff and are now in plaintiff's possession, custody or control pursuant to Dkt. 119 or otherwise. The Court agrees with plaintiff that such c ommunications are covered by the work product privilege in the first instance. See Costabile v. Westchester, New York, 254 F.R.D. 160, 164 (S.D.N.Y. 2008). But work product is a qualified privilege, and in the context of this case the Court readi ly finds that defendants have "substantial need," Rule 26(b) (3)(ii), Fed. R. Civ. P., and even a "highly persuasive showing" of need, United States v. Doe (In re Grand Jury Proceedings), 219 F.3d 175, 190 (2d Cir. 2000), to obta in these materials so they can reconstruct the files they had access to during the investigation and prosecution of plaintiff and re-establish the full factual context in which they made the decisions about which plaintiff now complains. Notably, the abortive prosecution of plaintiff centered on allegations that plaintiff, acting through one or more investigators, sought to bribe or tamper with a prosecution witness. Since plaintiff now controls these materials, defendants plainly cannot ob tain them by other means. It is unclear whether plaintiff possesses additional responsive communications which were not obtained by defendants during their investigation and prosecution of plaintiff. Such materials, to the extent they exist, may be relevant, but it is not clear to the Court that defendants' need for any such materials is sufficient to overcome work product protection. Plaintiff must therefore itemize any such communications he wishes to withhold on privilege grounds on a log compliant with Local Civil Rule 26.2. Tax Returns, Bank and Financial Records (Dkt. 521) Within 5 business days, Plaintiff shall formally (in writing) as he has done verbally restrict his economic damages claims to lost personal income ass ociated with his law firm and with the Greenlight Title Agency. On the basis of that concession, the ICDs motion to compel disclosure of tax, bank, and financial records for entities apart from the law firm and Greenlight Title (and Mr. Galgano personally) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Amer Hattar/Galinn Fund (Dkt. 521) Based on the damages claim limitation described above, the ICD's application to compel disclosure of records related to Amer Hattar and/or the Galinn Fund is DENIED. B usiness Relationship With Lani Zaimi (Dkt. 521) The ICDs seek documents evidencing payments or monies received by plaintiff "or plaintiff's businesses from Lani Zaimi or any business operated by Zaimi. To the extent that such communication s were previously obtained by law enforcement or the Putnam District Attorney during the underlying criminal investigation of plaintiff and are now in plaintiff's possession, custody or control pursuant to Dkt. 119 or otherwise, the ICD' ;s motion to compel production of such documents is GRANTED. The motion is otherwise DENIED. Saltwater Coral Distributer Documents (Dkt. 521) At the April 9, 2021 hearing, plaintiff agreed to produce responsive documents. The Clerk is respectfully requested to close Dkts. 519, 521, 522, and 523. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison on 4/14/2021) (ks)
April 12, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 538 ORDER denying 526 Letter Motion to Compel; denying 527 Letter Motion to Compel. By Ms. Galgano's own admission, the text messages in question are "not a part of the 'intercepted' universe" of wiretap communications tha t are the subject of the Rule 72 Objection pending before this Court. (Dkt. No. 527.) As counsel for Defendants note, (see Dkt. Nos. 533-34), Judge Davison addressed the relevant text messages when issuing his September 20, 2018 order, which require s that certain confidential communications be filed under seal pursuant to the Protective Order in this case, (see Dkt. No. 283). Even if the Court agreed that Defendants had violated "the spirit of that order," as Ms. Galgano suggests, (D kt. No. 535), there is no Rule 72 objection challenging the September 20, 2018 order. The Court may not enforce the "spirit" of an order to which there is no pending objection. Ms. Galgano's request is therefore denied, and the Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the pending Application, (Dkt. Nos. 526-27). So Ordered. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 4/12/21) (yv)
April 1, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 528 ORDER with respect to 526 Motion to Compel. Defendants are to respond to this letter by 4/6/21. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 3/31/2021) (kv)
February 8, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 498 ORDER: In view of the pre-motion conference and oral argument recently held on January 27, 2021, the status conference scheduled for February 10, 2021 at 10:30 A.M. is canceled. SO ORDERED. ***Hearings Terminated*** The following hearing(s) was terminated: Case Management Conference. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 2/8/2021) (jca)
January 29, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 494 ORDER denying 477 Motion for Discovery; denying 478 Motion for Discovery. Accordingly, the Court declines to revisit in 2021 issues which were litigated ad nauseam in 2016 and 2017 and then resolved, to counsel's then-evident satis faction, in early 2018. The items the ICDs now claim were improperly withheld texts relating to business arrangements between plaintiff and Zaimi, alleged narcotics transactions with former clients, alleged improper directions to investigators et c. closely track the objections counsel lodged to plaintiffs October 13, 2017 letter as far back as November 2017. [Dkt. 134.] The ICDs' contention that plaintiff's October 31, 2017 did not comport with this Court's July 24, 2017 Order, as well as their related challenge to the privileges claimed therein, also rehash counsels 2017 arguments, and the Court cannot interpret counsel's silence over the intervening years as anything other than acquiescence. The passage of time since counsel raised, then dropped, these issues is extraordinary, and I agree with plaintiff that counsel's delay has prejudiced plaintiff's ability to respond. Accordingly, the ICD's motion to unseal additional data extracted from plaintiff's iPhone is DENIED. The Clerk shall terminate the motion. [Dkts. 477-78.] SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison on 1/29/2021) (ks)

January 12, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 489 ORDER granting 472 Letter Motion for Discovery.

October 27, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 462 ORDER: As such, it is hereby ORDERED that all records related to the prosecution of Lia LoRusso, indictment number 14-043, previously sealed pursuant to New York State Criminal Procedure Law § 160.50 are hereby unsealed; and it is further O RDERED that Defendant County of Putnam produce all non-privileged records related to the prosecution of Lia LoRusso, indictment number 14-043, to all other parties; and it is further ORDERED that records unsealed pursuant to this order arc only to be used in relation to this litigation. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison on 10/27/2020) (ks)
October 13, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 443 ORDER: denying 415 Motion. Accordingly, Levy's motion is DENIED. The Clerk shall close Dkt. 415. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison on 10/13/2020) (ama) Modified on 10/14/2020 (kgo).
September 24, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 424 ORDER granting 392 Motion to Compel; granting 396 Motion for Discovery; denying 399 Motion to Unseal. Accordingly, plaintiffs broad relevance objection to defendants' otherwise unremarkable document demands is OVERRULED, and Defend ants' motions to compel are GRANTED. Motion to Unseal the "Third Grand Jury". In his second amended complaint, plaintiff has excised references to Putnam County Grand Jury Investigation Number 15-INV-008, the 'so-called &qu ot;Third Grand Jury." The Individual Defendants now move to unseal the record of that proceeding. [Dkts. 399-401, 410.] Putnam County joins in the motion. [Dkt. 402.] Plaintiff opposes. [Dlct. 407.] Under New York law, "a party seeking di sclosure of grand jury minutes must establish a compelling and particularized need[.]" People v. Robinson, 98 N.Y.2d 755, 756 (2002). Federal comis similarly require that, because "grand jury materials... are traditionally protected by a 'General Rule of Secrecy[,]'" a party seeking disclosure "must make a particularized showing of compelling need; proof of mere relevance, economy, and efficiency will not suffice." United States v. Charmer Industries, Inc , 711 F.2d 1164, 1174 (2d Cir. 1983). Applying that high standard, I find that defendants have not established a compelling need to unseal proceedings before the Third Grand Jury. While evidence presented to that body may be relevant to plaintiffs claims, plaintiffs complaint (as now configured) is addressed to two earlier grand jury investigations (and their sequelae) and does not directly implicate the Third Grand Jury. Defendants' desire to cull impeachment material or "bad ac ts" evidence from the record before that Grand Jury is not a sufficient basis to order their disclosure. Accordingly, defendants' motion to unseal the Third Grand Jury is DENIED. The Clerk shall close Dkts. 392, 396, and 399. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison on 9/24/2020) (ks)
September 9, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 404 ORDER: This Order addresses a dispute regarding whether plaintiff is obligated to release treatment records of his psychotherapist, Mr. James Blechman. The parties have submitted letter-briefs, [Dkts. 372, 378, 380.] Familiarity with the record i s assumed. As further set forth herein. In view of plaintiffs arguably broader descriptions of his emotional distress, plaintiff may withhold Mr. Blechman's therapy records only provided that he enters into a stipulation formally disavowin g any claim for non-garden-variety emotional injuries and expressly agreeing not to offer evidence regarding his therapy or any diagnosis he may have received. See e.g. Weber v. Res. Training Ctr., Inc., 2014 U.S. Dist. Lexis 176848 at* 5 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 23, 20 I 4)(requiring affidavit); Jacobs v. Conn. CMTY. Tech. Colleges, 258 F.R.D. 192, 197 (D.
