Restellini v. The Wildenstein Plattner Institute, Inc.
1:20-cv-04388 · Southern District of New York No recent activity
WHAT HAPPENED — IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Plaintiff filed three letters to Magistrate Judge Gorenstein regarding discovery disputes, including a Hague Convention request (Entry #157) and a 30(b)(6) deposition topics dispute that required an amended filing the same day (Entries #158-159). These filings signal active discovery disputes that may require judicial intervention and could impact deposition scheduling and international evidence gathering timelines. No immediate action appears required before 9 AM, but monitor for any responsive briefing deadlines or hearing scheduling orders from the magistrate judge.

YOUR CASE FILE
Entry #157 (Jul 28): Letter from Daniel Levy re: Decroocq Hague Convention Request, suggesting international evidence gathering issues
Entries #158-159 (Oct 3): Letter and amended letter from Daniel Levy disputing 30(b)(6) deposition topics, with exhibits showing disputed topics and defendant's initial disclosures
Same-day amendment suggests either procedural error or last-minute strategic changes in the discovery dispute
All filings directed to Magistrate Judge Gorenstein indicate these are discovery management issues rather than merits motions
WHAT THE OTHER SIDE DID
The need to amend the 30(b)(6) letter on the same day (Entries #158-159) suggests either sloppy preparation or rapidly evolving discovery disputes
Filing discovery dispute letters rather than formal motions indicates the parties may be following a magistrate judge protocol for informal resolution before formal motion practice
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR CASE
The Hague Convention request suggests international evidence or witness issues that could significantly delay discovery and add complexity to the case
Multiple discovery disputes emerging simultaneously may indicate the case is ramping up toward a dispositive motion deadline or trial preparation phase
