Plaintiff requests a brief extension of two business days, from the current due date of August 16, 2013 until August 20, 2013. ENDORSEMENT: The parties shall submit their opposition by close of business, Monday, August 19, 2013.

2013-08-16 51 0 MEMORANDUM OF LAW in Opposition re: 49 MOTION in Limine.. Document filed by Sandy Arkhurst, Scott Baxter, Erinn Brown, Eric Harris, The City of New York. (Kunz, Morgan) (Entered: 08/16/2013)
2013-08-21 53 0 ORDER: By letter dated August 20, 2013, Plaintiff requests that the Court remove his opposition to the Defendants' motion in limine, ECF No. 52, from the Electronic Case Filing system because the opposition discloses information obtained under a confidentiality order and refers to his mental health. Plaintiff also requests that he be allowed to refile a redacted version of that opposition. This cannot be done. Therefore, by 5 p.m., August 22, 2013, Plaintiff shall e-mail to the Court either: (1) substitute opposition papers to Defendants' motion in limine which do not include any information that Plaintiff does not made public, whereupon the Court will file that opposition and have ECF No. 52 deleted, or (2) a letter providing enough information such that the Court can make "specific, on-the-record findings that sealing is necessary to preserve higher values and only if the sealing order is narrowly tailored to achieve that aim," e.g., by redaction. Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 124 (2d Cir. 2006). The Court notes that it is unlikely that it will be able to make such findings if Plaintiff seeks to redact information already disclosed in documents in this case, such as Defendants' motion in limine. (Signed by Judge Analisa Torres on 8/21/2013) (rsh) (Entered: 08/21/2013)
2013-08-28 55 0 ORDER. The Clerk of Court is ordered to (1) delete the document at ECF No. 52 and indicate that the document has been deleted and (2) file the attached motion as Plaintiff's "MEMORANDUM OF LAW in Opposition re: 47 MOTION in limine." The Court shall not consider the document previously filed at ECF No. 52. Additionally, Defendants filed a reply memorandum in support of its motion in limine. See ECF No. 54, Aug. 23, 2013. The motion schedule so ordered by the Court did not contemplate reply memoranda, see Order, ECF No. 46, July 8, 2013, and Defendants did not request permission to file such a memorandum. The Clerk of Court is ordered to delete the document at ECF No. 54 and indicate that it has been deleted. (Signed by Judge Analisa Torres on 8/28/2013) (rjm) (Entered: 08/29/2013)
