Background

Plaintiff Josef Volman’s counsel asked for a 30-day postponement of the initial pretrial conference, which was scheduled for June 1, 2022. The letter stated that defendants had appeared through counsel on May 20 and that the parties had not been able to comply with the court’s prior order.

Order

The court granted the postponement. The initial pretrial conference was rescheduled for July 6, 2022, at 4:20 p.m. The parties were directed to call the listed telephone number and use the access code for the conference.

The court required the parties to file the joint letter and proposed civil-management plan and scheduling order required by Docket Entry 7 by June 29, 2022, at noon. The order also required 186 Ave B NY LLC to serve its answer and cross-claim on Joseluis Corp. and file proof of service by June 27, 2022. It further stated that if Joseluis Corp. had not appeared and responded to the complaint and cross-claim by June 17, 2022, Volman and 186 Ave B NY LLC were to file an order to show cause for default judgment and the related papers required by the court’s individual rules by June 22, 2022.

Disposition

Judge Lorna G. Schofield granted the request to adjourn the conference and set the associated deadlines. This was a scheduling and pretrial-management order; it did not decide the underlying claims.
