ORDER
BARBARA MOSES UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The above-referenced action is before Magistrate Judge Moses for all purposes. All motions and applications must be made to Judge Moses and in compliance with this Court's Individual Practices in Civil Cases, available on the Court's website at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-barbara-moses.
Pursuant to the Standing Order in No. 16-MC-00171 dated April 20, 2016 (Standing Order), and the Scheduling Order at Dkt. 6, defendant shall file the electronic certified transcript of the administrative proceedings (e-CAR), which shall constitute the defendant's answer, or move against the complaint, no later than October 24, 2022. A courtesy copy marked as such must be delivered to chambers by mail, overnight courier, or hand delivery. This requirement remains in effect notwithstanding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
If defendant wishes to file a motion for judgment on the pleadings, she shall do so no later than 60 days after the date on which she files the e-CAR. The motion for judgment on the pleadings must contain a full recitation of the relevant facts and a full description of the underlying administrative proceedings. Plaintiff shall, no later than 60 days after defendant's submission of the motion for judgment on the pleadings, file and serve his response and any cross-motion, which must state any additional or contrary facts deemed necessary to resolve the case. Defendant shall file any reply no later than 21 days after service of plaintiff's response.
The parties are reminded that, under the Standing Order, memoranda filed in support of or in opposition to any dispositive motion shall not exceed 25 pages, and reply memoranda shall not exceed 10 pages. Memoranda exceeding 10 pages must include a table of contents and a table of authorities, neither of which shall count against the page limit. Any party seeking to exceed these page limitations must apply to Judge Moses for leave to do so, with copies to all counsel, no fewer than seven days before the date upon which the memorandum must be filed.
Plaintiff is reminded that all letters and other communications with the Court from pro se parties must be submitted to the Pro Se Intake Unit, not directly to chambers. The Pro Se Office in the Room 105 in the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, NY 10007 (telephone 212-805-0175) may be of assistance to pro se litigants in connection with court procedures.
SO ORDERED.
