Judge Oetken stayed Hotel Association v. City of New York while a related appeal was pending.
Hotel Association of New York City and the City of New York; proceedings in this action are paused until the related appeal is resolved.
What happened
In Hotel Association of New York City v. City of New York, the court had previously denied the Hotel Association’s request for a preliminary injunction. A company in a related case had filed a similar request, which the court also denied and which that company appealed.
The court stayed this case until the related appeal is resolved. It said the appeal would almost certainly guide how this case should be decided.
The parties must file a joint status letter within 14 days after the appeal ends. Judge Oetken entered the stay on August 18, 2022.

Background
On March 30, 2022, the court denied Hotel Association of New York City’s motion for a preliminary injunction. On the same date, the court denied a substantially similar preliminary-injunction motion in a related case, RHC Operating LLC v. City of New York, No. 21-CV-9322. RHC Operating LLC appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Ruling
The court stayed this action pending resolution of the related appeal. A stay pauses the proceedings. The court explained that the appeal would almost certainly guide the disposition of this case and that staying the case would conserve time and effort for the court, counsel, and the parties.
The parties were directed to file a joint status letter within 14 days after the resolution of the appeal in RHC Operating LLC v. City of New York, No. 22-923 (Second Circuit).
