In Erde v. Carranza, Judge Failla ordered supplemental briefs addressing a new appellate decision’s effect on pending motions.
The plaintiffs and defendants in Erde v. Carranza, whose pending motions were subject to the court’s supplemental-briefing order.
What happened
Erde v. Carranza concerns a pending motion for a preliminary injunction by the plaintiffs and a pending motion to dismiss by the defendants. The opinion identifies the plaintiffs as Susanne Erde and Michael Erde, acting as parents and guardians of J.E., and the defendants as Richard Carranza, the New York City Department of Education, and the New York State Education Department.
The Second Circuit had issued a decision in Ventura de Paulino v. New York City Department of Education on May 18, 2020. The district court directed both sides to explain how that decision affects the pending motions.
Judge Katherine Polk Failla ordered the parties to file supplemental letter briefs by June 3, 2020. The order did not decide the preliminary-injunction motion or the motion to dismiss.
