Background
The court issued this order after a telephone conference on May 21, 2021. The opinion states that only Plaintiff Jeriel Alexander appeared. It does not describe the underlying claims in detail.
Order
The court ordered Alexander, no later than June 25, 2021, to file:
- a motion for default judgment; - an affirmation and memorandum of law supporting that motion; and - an affirmation showing that the documents had been served.
Alexander also had to serve copies of those documents on Private Protective Services, Inc. by mailing them to the two addresses listed in the order, including an address marked for Christian Nguyen. The court referred Alexander to available motion templates and provided information about a legal clinic operated by the New York Legal Assistance Group for people representing themselves in civil cases. The Clerk of Court was directed to mail Alexander a copy of the order.
Additional Caution
A footnote cautioned Alexander not to focus a request for damages on his claim under Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because, according to the order, damages are not available under that title.
Disposition
The court set filing and service requirements for a possible default-judgment motion. It did not rule on whether default judgment should be entered. Judge Stewart D. Aaron signed the order.
