In Jujamcyn Theaters v. Federal Insurance, Judge Carter clarified briefing after denying the parties’ motions without prejudice and allowed renewal.
Jujamcyn Theaters LLC, Federal Insurance Company, and Pacific Indemnity Company; the parties were required to report on renewed motions, a briefing schedule, and whether they still wanted a conference.
What happened
Jujamcyn Theaters LLC sued Federal Insurance Company and Pacific Indemnity Company. The parties had filed cross motions asking the court to decide the case based on the pleadings, and defendants also sought reconsideration.
Judge Carter clarified that his March 3 order had denied both motions without prejudice, while allowing the parties to renew them. He wanted the renewed filings to address a later Second Circuit decision.
The court said defendants’ reconsideration motion was unnecessary, but allowed defendants to include those arguments in renewed briefing. Judge Carter ordered the parties to say by March 25 whether they would refile their original motions or submit new ones, propose a briefing schedule, and state whether they still wanted a conference.
