    Denying motion to strike prayer for punitive damages where such damages are not categorically unavailable

    They are, however, available for claims of negligent misrepresentations where "the defendant's conduct evinces a high degree of moral turpitude and demonstrates such wanton dishonesty as to imply a criminal indifference to civil obligations." Kemp v. Henry, 2017 WL 1901433, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. May 6, 2017) (quoting Hutchins v. Utica Mut. Ins. Co., 107 A.D.2d 871, 484 N.Y.S.2d 686, 688 (3d Dep't 1985)). Because portions of Plaintiff's negligent misrepresentation claim have not been dismissed, the Court declines to strike the request for punitive damages at this time.
