In Wiltz v. New York University, the court entered judgment for defendants and imposed a filing-permission requirement on Wiltz.

Who this affects

The judgment affects Randall Wiltz by requiring him to obtain permission before filing certain related federal actions, and it enters judgment for the defendants and closes the case.

What happened

Wiltz v. New York University involved Randall Wiltz and several defendants, including New York University. The judgment says the court adopted a report and recommendation and a February 10, 2020 memorandum opinion, but those documents are not included here.

The court entered judgment for the defendants and closed the case. Before Wiltz files another federal case related to Washington Square Village Apartment or the related state-court and administrative proceedings, he must first ask the Southern District of New York Clerk of Court for permission.

The request must include the proposed complaint and supporting documents, use the caption “Request for Permission to File under Filing Injunction,” and be submitted to the court’s Pro Se Intake Unit. The court warned that violating the requirement could lead to additional sanctions, including monetary penalties. The judgment was entered by the court on February 20, 2020.

The judgment concerns Randall Wiltz’s case against New York University, Franklin Diaz, Erin Lynch, Collins Building Services, LLC, Angel Perlaza, Cushman & Wakefield, Inc., and Michael Broderick. It states that the court’s February 10, 2020 memorandum opinion and order accepted and adopted a report and recommendation in full. The memorandum opinion and report and recommendation are not included in the provided text, so the underlying claims and reasoning cannot be described from this judgment alone.

The court entered judgment for the defendants and closed the case. It also ordered that, before Wiltz files any other federal action arising from or related to Washington Square Village Apartment or the state-court and administrative proceedings he began, he must first request permission from the Clerk of Court.

The permission request must include a copy of the proposed complaint and supporting documents, bear the caption “Request for Permission to File under Filing Injunction,” be addressed to the Clerk of Court, and be submitted to the Southern District of New York’s Pro Se Intake Unit. The judgment states that violating the sanction could expose Wiltz to additional sanctions, including monetary penalties. The judgment was entered on February 20, 2020.
