Background

The caption identifies Angel Hernandez and Ana Garcia as plaintiffs and the City of New York, Manuel Siles, P.O. Shield # 844, Omar Habib, P.O. Shield # 844, and Diego Beekman Mutual Housing as defendants. The opinion is a case-management order and does not explain the claims or factual allegations.

Order

The court directed the parties to complete discovery in accordance with the case-management and scheduling order entered at Docket No. 41. The parties may request modifications to the deadlines under the court's Individual Rules of Practice in Civil Cases.

It therefore denied permission to appeal without prepaying filing fees. The order does not decide the underlying claims.
