ORDER: The Parties are advised of the Court's Standing Order Regarding Rule 56 Motions, effective as of October 16, 2026 (the "Rule 56 Standing Order"). The Standing Order is available on the Court's website at: http://www.cod.uscourts.gov/Portals/0/Documents/Judges/NYW/NYW_Standing_Order_Regarding_Rule_56_Motions.pdf. The Standing Order sets forth new procedures that are required prior to the filing of a motion for summary judgment under Rule 56. Specifically, before filing a motion for summary judgment, a party who wishes to move for summary judgment must contact Chambers no later than 10 days after the close of discovery to set a hearing on the party's intent to file a motion for summary judgment. See Rule 56 Standing Order § C.1. The Standing Order does not apply in cases in which one or more parties is unrepresented. See id. § B.2. In addition, the Standing Order does not apply in cases in which a motion for summary judgment has already been filed and remains pending. If the dispositive motions deadline in this case is on or before November 6, 2026, and the parties believe that extraordinary circumstances warrant relief from the Rule 56 Standing Order, the parties may seek leave of Court to file a summary judgment motion without complying with the Rule 56 Standing Order. Extraordinary circumstances do not include a party's preference to file a summary judgment motion without holding a pre-motion hearing. If the dispositive motions deadline in this case is on or after November 9, 2026, the dispositive motions deadline is VACATED, to be reset by the Court at the pre-motion hearing. Finally, if no party wishes to file a summary judgment motion, then no later than ten days after the close of discovery, the parties shall file a joint motion for a status conference for purposes of setting firm dates for the Final Pretrial/Trial Preparation Conference and the trial. See Rule 56 Standing Order § C.3.
