Background
Ira Mohammed sued Leap Services, Inc. on behalf of herself and others described as similarly situated. The parties submitted a joint letter motion and agreement concerning the next steps in the case.
Order
The court ordered that Mohammed will not amend the complaint to add additional causes of action at this time. The court also stayed the proceedings and vacated all dates while the New York Court of Appeals considers an appeal from the decision in Grant v. Global Aircraft Dispatch, Inc., 223 A.D.3d 712 (2d Dep’t 2024).
The parties must file joint status letters every three months after the order and must notify the court within 72 hours of any material development in Grant. The order also says that any party seeking judicial approval of a settlement must file a letter motion requesting that approval.
Next steps and disposition
Within 15 days after the New York Court of Appeals issues its decision in Grant, Mohammed must file a motion to lift the stay and request a status conference if that decision supports continuing this action. If it does not, the parties must file a stipulation dismissing this action with prejudice. The clerk was directed to place the case on the suspense docket and terminate ECF No. 29. This agreed order stayed the case; it did not decide the underlying claims.
