In Erde v. New York City Department of Education, Judge Failla ordered briefs on an appellate decision’s effect on reconsideration and the complaint.

Who this affects

What happened

In Erde v. New York City Department of Education, the court addressed a recent Second Circuit decision concerning the New York City Department of Education. The plaintiffs had a pending request asking the court to reconsider an earlier ruling and a pending complaint.

Background

Susanne Erde and Michael Erde, individually and as parents and natural guardians of J.E., sued the New York City Department of Education. The opinion states that the plaintiffs had a pending motion for reconsideration and a pending complaint.

On May 18, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision in Ventura de Paulino v. New York City Department of Education. The district court directed the parties to address the effect of that decision on this case.

Order

The court ordered the parties to file letter briefs by June 3, 2020. Each brief had to explain how the Second Circuit’s decision affected the plaintiffs’ pending motion for reconsideration and the viability of the plaintiffs’ complaint.

Disposition

The order required briefing. It did not grant or deny the motion for reconsideration and did not determine whether the complaint could proceed. This is a procedural order because it addressed further briefing rather than deciding the underlying claims.
