Initial Conference Hearing
Minute entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Clay H. Kaminsky: An initial conference was held telephonically on July 8, 2026. James O'Donnell appeared on behalf of plaintiff; Daniel Millman appeared on behalf of defendant. Following a discussion of the case and the parties' proposed discovery plan, the Court set the below deadlines:
By July 15, 2026, pursuant to the EDNY Direct Assignment Program, the parties must review and file by ECF either a Consent to Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction form if all parties consent or, if not all parties consent, a Direct Assignment Program Acknowledgement form that confirms that they have conferred with each other and their respective client(s) regarding the option to consent to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction over this case. Both forms are available on the EDNY Direct Assignment Program webpage: https://www.nyed.uscourts.gov/bulletin-direct-assignment-program. The parties are encouraged to consent to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction for all purposes going forward, but they may withhold consent without any adverse substantive consequences. A District Judge will be assigned to this case at random unless all parties consent to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction by July 15, 2026.
Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures shall be completed by July 21, 2026.
The parties shall serve initial interrogatories and requests for production by August 10, 2026.
No amendment of the pleadings will be permitted and no additional parties may be joined after August 10, 2026.
Fact discovery shall be completed by December 11, 2026.
The deadline to take the first step in dispositive motion practice is January 29, 2027.
No extension of the above deadlines will be granted except upon a motion, filed prior to the deadline and consistent with Judge Kaminsky's Individual Practices and Rules, showing good cause for the extension. The parties are reminded that "a finding of 'good cause' depends on the diligence of the moving party." Parker v. Columbia Pictures Industries, 204 F.3d 326, 340 (2d Cir. 2000).
