Febrianti v. NYC Health & Hospitals

Background

After an initial pretrial conference at which only Defendants appeared, the court addressed scheduling and case-management matters. Defendant City of New York had filed a motion to dismiss, and the court set deadlines for the parties' written submissions.

Court's Orders

The court ordered Plaintiff to file her opposition to the City's motion to dismiss by May 30, 2025. The City may file a reply by June 13, 2025.

The court stayed, or paused, discovery involving the City until the motion to dismiss is decided. The court found good cause for the stay and relied on its authority to issue a protective order when the record supports one. This order did not decide the City's motion to dismiss.

The court approved the proposed case-management plan as to NYC Health & Hospitals and stated that it would enter the plan separately on the electronic docket.

Warning and Mailing

The court reminded Plaintiff that she must comply with court orders, including orders requiring her to appear at conferences, and must diligently pursue the case. It warned that failing to do so could lead to sanctions, including a recommendation to the District Judge that the case be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

The court noted a filing in Plaintiff's pending interlocutory appeal stating that her new mailing address was 332 Broadway, Staten Island, New York 10310. As a courtesy, Chambers would mail Plaintiff a copy of this order and the case-management plan. The court also reminded her that she is responsible for keeping her address current with the court.

Disposition

The court set briefing deadlines, stayed discovery as to the City pending the motion to dismiss, and approved the proposed case-management plan as to NYC Health & Hospitals. It did not rule on the merits of the case or decide the City's motion to dismiss.
