ANGELICA PARKER Plaintiff, v. SCOTT BURSOR, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
ROBYN F. TARNOFSKY, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Yesterday, my chambers received an ex parte email communication from counsel for Defendants. I am baffled why counsel made such a communication. When he previously made an ex parte email communication in connection with this mater to the chambers of Judge Clarke, he was directed to file the communication on the docket, which he did. To the extent it is in any way unclear, if counsel has an urgent mater that he believes requires an email to chambers pursuant to my Individual Rules, he should copy the opposing pro se party on that communication. Otherwise, the communication must be filed on the docket. Counsel for Defendant is Ordered to file his email to my chambers on the docket. If he wishes to make an application to make a sealed motion for a temporary restraining order directing Plaintiff to file her complaint under seal, he should, in accordance with Section III(E) of my Individual Rules, make an application, filed on the docket, that explains the reasons for seeking to file that submission under seal and addresses the request in light of the Court of Appeals' opinions in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006) and Bernstein v. Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman LLP, 814 F.3d 132 (2d Cir. 2016).
SO ORDERED.
