What happened
In Marett v. Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Lucia Marett’s lawyers asked for more time to amend the complaint and add Alan Posner as a plaintiff. They requested moving the deadline from December 4 to December 9, 2019.

The filing was marked “SO ORDERED” by Judge George B. Daniels, reflecting approval of the requested extension and joinder. The text does not separately use the word “granted.”
