Unless otherwise ordered, these Individual Practices shall apply to all civil matters before

Judge Engelmayer, except for civil pro se cases. If a case is designated by Order of the

Court to be part of one of the Court’s pilot projects or plans (e.g., the Plan for Certain

Section 1983 Cases Against the City of New York, the Pilot Project Regarding Case

Management Techniques for Complex Civil Cases, or the Initial Discovery Protocols for

Employment Cases Alleging Adverse Action), the procedures in such project or plan shall

govern to the extent that they are inconsistent with these Individual Practices.

1. Communications with Chambers

A. Letters. Except as otherwise provided below, communications with the Court shall be

by letter. Letters must be filed electronically on ECF. Letters may not exceed three pages in

length without prior permission from Chambers. Letters solely between parties or their

counsel or otherwise not addressed to the Court may not be filed on ECF or otherwise sent to

the Court (except as exhibits to an otherwise properly filed document).

Letters to be filed under seal or containing sensitive or confidential information must be filed

electronically through the court’s ECF system in conformity with the court’s standing order,

19-MC-00583, and ECF Rules & Instructions, section 6.

B. Telephone Calls. For urgent matters, call Chambers at (212) 805-0268. Otherwise, all

communications with Chambers shall be by letter or letter-motion filed on ECF. Any

voicemail messages should identify the identity of the caller, a call-back number, and the

relevant case number.

C. Faxes. Faxes to Chambers are not permitted.

D. Hand Deliveries. Hand-delivered mail should be taken to Worth Street entrance of the

Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, and may not be brought directly to

[1]

Chambers. Hand deliveries are continuously retrieved by Courthouse mail staff and then

forwarded to Chambers. However, if the hand-delivered material is urgent and requires the

Court’s immediate attention, ask the Court Security Officers to notify Chambers that an

urgent package has arrived that needs to be retrieved by Chambers staff immediately.

E. Requests for Adjournments or Extensions of Time. All requests for adjournments or

extensions of time must be made in writing and filed on ECF as letter-motions, not as

proposed stipulations or orders. (If a request contains sensitive or confidential information, it

may be filed electronically through the court’s ECF system in conformity with the court’s

standing order, 19-MC-00583, and ECF Rules & Instructions, section 6.)

1. Timing: Absent extraordinary circumstances, requests for extensions will be

denied if not made before the expiration of the original deadline. If the request is for

an adjournment of a court appearance, absent an emergency, the request shall be

made at least two business days prior to the scheduled appearance.

2. Content: The letter must state: (1) the original due date, the date or dates sought

to be extended, and the new date the party now seeks through an adjournment or

extension; (2) the number of previous requests for adjournment or extensions of time;

(3) whether those previous requests were granted or denied; and (4) whether the

adversary consents, and, if not, the reasons given by the adversary for refusing to

consent. If the requested adjournment or extension affects any other scheduled dates,

a proposed Revised Civil Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order must be

attached.

F. Related Cases. After an action has been accepted as related to a prior filing, all future

court papers and correspondence must contain the docket number of the new filing, as well as

the docket number of the case to which it is related (e.g., 11-CV-1234 [rel. 10-CV-4321]).

G. ECF. Counsel are responsible for updating their contact information on ECF, should it

change, and they are responsible for ensuring that they are aware of all docket activity in

their cases, regardless of whether they receive ECF notifications.

2. Conferences and Discovery

A. In-Person Conferences. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, all in-person

conferences will be held in Courtroom 1305 of the Thurgood Marshall United States

Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, NY.

B. Teleconferences. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, any proceeding held by

telephone will be on the Court’s dedicated conference line, which can be accessed by calling

(855) 244-8681, and entering Access Code 2318-315-0661, followed by the pound (#) key.

Whenever possible, counsel should use a landline and a headset instead of speakerphone.

Counsel should mute themselves when they are not speaking to eliminate background noise.

[2]

C. Attendance by Principal Trial Counsel. The attorney who will serve as principal trial

counsel must appear at all conferences with the Court.

D. Initial Case Management Conference. The Court will generally schedule a Fed. R.

Civ. P. 16(c) conference approximately two weeks after an answer or motion to dismiss is

filed. The Notice of Initial Pretrial Conference will be docketed on ECF; plaintiff’s counsel

is directed to notify all counsel of this Order forthwith. At the initial conference, the Court

will schedule a next conference for approximately one month after the close of fact

discovery. This next conference will either serve as a pre-motion conference (in the event

any party intends to move for summary judgment, see Section 3.K below) or will be used to

set a trial date and dates for pretrial submissions.

1. Required Materials: At least four business days before the conference date, the

parties must file on ECF: (1) a proposed Civil Case Management Plan and Scheduling

Order, available on the Court’s website at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-paul-

engelmayer; and (2) a joint letter, not to exceed three single-spaced pages in length,

describing the case, any contemplated motions, and the prospect for settlement. The

parties must also email EngelmayerNYSDChambers@nysd.uscourts.gov the names

of counsel who will be appearing at the conference, denoting lead counsel with an

asterisk.

E. Discovery Disputes. Follow Local Civil Rule 37.2 with the following modifications.

Any party wishing to raise a discovery dispute with the Court must first confer in good faith

with the opposing party, in person or by telephone, in an effort to resolve the dispute. If this

meet-and-confer process does not resolve the dispute, the party must submit a letter to the

Court via ECF, no longer than three single-spaced pages, explaining the nature of the dispute,

the legal standards governing the issue, and case law, if any, supporting the party’s position.

Such a letter must include a representation that the meet-and-confer process occurred and

was unsuccessful. If the opposing party wishes to respond to the letter, it must do so within

three business days and should call Chambers promptly to advise that a responsive letter will

be forthcoming. Reply letters are not invited. Either party may, in their letter, request an

informal conference. If the Court schedules such a conference, counsel should be prepared to

discuss the matters raised by such letters, as the Court will seek to resolve discovery disputes

quickly, including by telephone conference call.

3. Motions

A. Pre-Motion Conferences in Civil Cases. Pre-motion conferences are not required,

except for motions concerning discovery, which are governed by Section 2.E above, and for

summary judgment motions, which are governed by Section 3.K below.

B. Motions to Dismiss. If a motion to dismiss is filed, the plaintiff has a right to amend its

pleading, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1)(B), within 21 days. If the

non-moving party elects not to amend its pleading, no further opportunity to amend will

ordinarily be granted, and the motion to dismiss will proceed in the normal course. If the

[3]

plaintiff amends its pleading, the defendant must, within 21 days of such amendment:

(1) file an answer; (2) file a new motion to dismiss; or (3) submit a letter to the Court,

copying the plaintiff, stating that it relies on the previously filed motion to dismiss.

C. Memoranda of Law. The Court encourages and appreciates brevity. Unless prior

permission has been granted, memoranda of law in support of and in opposition to motions

are limited to 25 pages, and reply memoranda are limited to 10 pages. All memoranda of law

shall be in 12-point font or larger and be double-spaced. Memoranda of 10 pages or more

shall contain a table of contents and a table of authorities, neither of which shall count

against the page limit. All appendices to memoranda of law must be tabbed and indexed.

D. Filing of Motion Papers. Motion papers shall be filed promptly after service.

E. Courtesy Copies. Unless the Court orders otherwise, parties should not submit courtesy

copies of any submissions.

F. Unpublished Cases. If a party cites a case not available in an official reporter, the

Westlaw citation should be used whenever possible.

G. Text Searchable Submissions. If feasible, a party should file its submission(s) in text-

searchable format created by converting the document electronically to PDF by computer

(that is, not by scanning a printed document). If a PDF is created by scanning a printed

document (for instance, in the case of a pre-existing documentary exhibit), the party should

use software to make the document text searchable whenever possible.

H. Use of Artificial Intelligence or Large Language Models. Counsel is responsible for

making complete and accurate representations as to the record, procedural history of the case,

and any cited legal authorities. The Court takes no position as to the use of artificial

intelligence, but counsel must at all times personally confirm for themselves the accuracy of

any research conducted by these means. At all times, counsel—and specifically designated

lead counsel—bears responsibility for the accuracy of any filings.

I. Amended or Corrected Filings. Any amended or corrected filing shall be filed with a

redline showing all differences between the original and revised filing.

J. Oral Argument on Motions. Parties may request oral argument by letter at the time

their moving or opposing or reply papers are filed. The Court will determine whether

argument will be heard and, if so, will advise counsel of the argument date.

K. Post-Discovery Settlement Conference. In cases to be tried by jury, within two weeks

of the close of fact discovery, the parties must submit a joint letter to the Court stating

whether all parties consent to a settlement conference to be held before this Court or the

assigned Magistrate Judge. The letter should not identify, explicitly or implicitly, any party

that has declined to so consent.

[4]

L. Motions for Summary Judgment. If a party wishes to move for summary judgment, it

must, within 14 days of the close of fact discovery, request that the pre-motion / pretrial

conference previously scheduled for after the close of fact discovery serve as a pre-motion

conference. To so request, the moving party shall submit a letter via ECF, not to exceed

three single-spaced pages in length, setting forth the basis for the anticipated motion,

including the legal standards governing the claims at issue. Other parties shall respond

similarly within one week. The Court will review and discuss with counsel any anticipated

summary judgment motions at the pre-motion / pretrial conference.

1. Rule 56.1 Statements. Any party moving for summary judgment shall provide all

other parties with an electronic copy, in Microsoft Word format, of the moving

party’s Statement of Material Facts Pursuant to Local Rule 56.1. Opposing parties

must reproduce each entry in the moving party’s Rule 56.1 Statement, and set out the

opposing party’s response directly beneath it. If the opposing party wishes to file

their own, additional statements of material fact, it shall begin numbering each entry

where the moving party left off. To streamline the summary judgment briefing

process, the Court strongly encourages the parties to also negotiate and submit, prior

to or along with the movant’s Rule 56.1 Statement, a Joint Rule 56.1 Statement

setting out all facts on which the parties agree.

2. Pretrial Deadlines. Upon the filing of a summary judgment motion, the deadline

to file a joint pretrial order and associated materials is adjourned pending resolution

of the motion.

M. Letter-Motions. Letter-motions must be filed via ECF if they comply with the S.D.N.Y.

Local Rules and the S.D.N.Y. “Electronic Case Filing Rules and Instructions.” In particular,

all requests for adjournments, extensions, and pre-motion conferences (including pre-motion

conferences with respect to discovery disputes) must be filed as letter-motions.

N. Failure of the Court to Schedule Argument or Decide a Motion. If a motion is not

decided within 60 days of the time that it has become fully briefed, counsel for the movant

shall send a letter to alert the Court.

O. Preliminary Injunction Motions. The Court generally follows the procedure for the

conduct of non-jury trials described in Section 5.C below, to wit, parties should submit any

documentary exhibits, declarations, and / or affidavits in support of or in opposition to such

motion at the time they submit their legal memoranda in support of or in opposition to such

motion.

P. Applications for a Temporary Restraining Order. A party must confer with his or her

adversary before making an application for a temporary restraining order unless the

requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b) are met. As soon as a party decides to seek a

temporary restraining order, he or she must email Chambers at

EngelmayerNYSDChambers@nysd.uscourts.gov and state clearly whether (1) he or she has

notified their adversary, and whether the adversary consents to temporary injunctive relief; or

[5]

(2) the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b) are satisfied and no notice is necessary. The

moving party must also give notice of the time frame requested for Court action. If the

motion is made on notice, all parties should be copied on the email.

The moving party should then file a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order, supporting

documents, and a proposed order on ECF in accordance with the procedures found in ECF

Rule 18.2. Information on filing an application ex parte may be found in section 6, Sealed

Filing, of the S.D.N.Y. ECF Rules & Instructions, available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov

/rules/ecf-related-instructions. Where the motion is made on notice to the other parties, the

moving party should simultaneously serve the documents on any party that will not receive

electronic service via the ECF system.

If the matter is time-sensitive and Chambers does not respond within two hours, the moving

party may contact the Clerk’s Office before the end of the business day at (212) 805-0140.

If a party’s adversary has been notified but does not consent to temporary injunctive relief,

the party seeking a restraining order must file the application at a time mutually agreeable to

it and the adversary, so that the Court may have the benefit of advocacy from both sides in

deciding whether to grant temporary injunctive relief.

Q. Default Judgments. A plaintiff seeking a default judgment must proceed by filing a

motion for default judgment on ECF pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b)(2)

and Local Civil Rule 55.2(b). A plaintiff seeking a default judgment should not proceed

by order to show cause. The motion must be supported by the following papers:

i. an attorney’s affidavit or declaration setting forth:

(a) the basis for entering a default judgment, including a description of the

method and date of service of the summons and complaint;

(b) the procedural history beyond service of the summons and complaint, if

any;

(c) whether, if the default is applicable to fewer than all of the defendants, the

Court may appropriately order a default judgment on the issue of damages

prior to resolution of the entire action;

(d) the proposed damages and the basis for each element of damages, including

interest, attorney’s fees, and costs; and

(e) legal authority for why an inquest into damages would be unnecessary;

[6]

ii. a proposed default judgment;

iii. copies of all the operative pleadings;

iv. a copy of the affidavit of service of the summons and complaint; and

v. if failure to answer is the basis for the default, a Certificate from the Clerk of

Court stating that no answer has been filed.

The Court will review the motion for default judgment and, if appropriate, issue an order

setting a date and time for a default judgment hearing. If the Court issues such an order,

the plaintiff must then serve on the party against whom default judgment is sought: (1)

the motion for default judgment and supporting papers; and (2) the Court’s order setting a

date and time for the default judgment hearing. The plaintiff must file proof of such

service on the docket in the manner and by the date specified in the Court’s order setting

the default judgment hearing.

[7]

4. Other Pretrial Guidance

A. Cases Removed from State Court. Counsel for the party or parties that removed the

case must, in addition to providing a copy of all process, pleadings, and papers served upon

the defendants pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1446(a), provide the Court with a courtesy copy of

any pleading filed or served while the case remained in State court. Counsel for all parties

must file a notice of appearance in this Court promptly upon removal.

B. Redactions and Filing Under Seal.

1. Sealing/Redactions Not Requiring Court Approval. The parties are referred to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2, the E-Government Act of 2002, and the Southern

District’s ECF Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) and reminded not to include, unless

necessary, the five categories of “sensitive information” in their submissions (i.e.,

social security numbers [use the last four digits only], names of minor children [use

the initials only], dates of birth [use the year only], financial account numbers [use the

last four digits only], and home addresses [use only the City and State]). Parties may

redact the five categories of “sensitive information” and the six categories of

information requiring caution (i.e., personal identifying number, medical records

(including information regarding treatment and diagnosis), employment history,

individual financial information, proprietary or trade secret information, and

information regarding an individual’s cooperation with the government), as described

in the Privacy Policy, without Court approval.

2. Sealing/Redaction Requiring Court Approval. Except for those permitted by

Paragraph 4.B.1, all sealing and redactions require Court approval. To be

approved, redactions must be narrowly tailored to serve whatever purpose justifies

them and otherwise consistent with the presumption in favor of public access to

judicial documents. See, e.g., Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110,

119–20 (2d Cir. 2006). In general, the parties’ consent or the fact that information is

subject to a confidentiality agreement between litigants is not, by itself, a valid basis

to overcome the presumption in favor of public access to judicial documents. See,

e.g., In re Gen. Motors LLC Ignition Switch Litig., No. 14-MD-2543 (JMF), 2015 WL

4750774, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 11, 2015).

3. Procedures for Filing Sealed or Redacted Documents. Motions or Letter

Motions for approval of sealed or redacted filings in civil and miscellaneous cases

and the subject documents, including the proposed sealed document(s), must be filed

electronically through the court’s ECF system in conformity with the court’s standing

order, 19-MC-00583, and ECF Rules & Instructions, section 6. Any party seeking to

file a document under seal or in redacted form shall proceed as follows:

i. Sealed Document(s). The motion must be filed in public view, must explain

the particular reasons for seeking to file that information under seal and should

not include confidential information sought to be filed under seal. Supporting

[8]

papers must be separately filed electronically and may be filed under seal or

redacted only to the extent necessary to safeguard information sought to be filed

under seal. The proposed sealed document must be contemporaneously filed

under seal in the ECF system and electronically related to the motion. The

summary docket text, but not the sealed document, will be open to public

inspection and should not include confidential information sought to be filed

under seal.

ii. Redacted Document(s). Where the motion seeks approval to redact

information from a document that is to be publicly filed, the filing party shall:

(a) publicly file the document with the proposed redactions, and (b) electronically

file under seal a copy of the unredacted document with the proposed redactions

highlighted. Both documents must be electronically filed through the ECF system

and related to the motion.

iii. Submission by Email. Any party unable to comply with the requirement for

electronic filing under seal through the ECF system, or who has reason to believe

that a particular document should not be electronically filed, shall file a letter-

motion seeking leave of the Court to file in a different manner. If the party is

unable to file such a letter-motion on ECF, or believes there is good cause not to

file such a letter-motion on ECF, the party may submit it by email (at

EngelmayerNYSDChambers@nysd.uscourts.gov) as a text-searchable PDF

attachment with a copy simultaneously delivered to all counsel. Any such email

shall state clearly in the subject line: (1) the caption of the case, including the lead

party names and docket number; and (2) a brief description of the contents of the

letter. Parties may not include substantive communications in the body of the

email; such communications may be included only in the body of the letter

C. Settlement Agreements. The Court will not retain jurisdiction to enforce confidential

settlement agreements. If the parties wish that the Court retain jurisdiction to enforce the

agreement, the parties must place the terms of their settlement agreement on the public

record. The parties may either provide a copy of the settlement agreement for the Court to

endorse or include the terms of their settlement agreement in their stipulation of settlement

and dismissal.

Settling parties in cases brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, 29 U.S.C. § 201

et seq., should also refer to Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir.

2015) and Wolinsky v. Scholastic Inc., 900 F. Supp. 2d 332 (S.D.N.Y. 2012).

D. Diversity Jurisdiction Cases. In any action in which subject matter jurisdiction is

founded on diversity of citizenship pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332, the party asserting the

existence of such jurisdiction shall, prior to the Initial Pretrial Conference, submit to the

Court a letter no longer than two pages explaining the basis for that party’s belief that

diversity of citizenship exists. Where any party is a corporation, the letter shall state both the

place of incorporation and the principal place of business. In cases where any party is a

partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, or trust, the letter shall state the

[9]

citizenship of each of the entity’s members, shareholders, partners, and / or trustees.

E. Bankruptcy Appeals. Briefs must be submitted in accordance with Fed. R. Bankr. P.

8009–10. Counsel may extend the default deadlines by stipulation submitted to the Court no

later than two business days before the brief is due.

5. Trial Procedures

A. Joint Pretrial Order. If neither party has submitted a pre-motion letter seeking to move

for summary judgment, the Court will set a date for trial at the pretrial conference held

shortly after the close of discovery. The Court will also then set a deadline for the proposed

joint pretrial order, which shall include the following:

i. The full caption of the action;

ii. The names, law firms, addresses, and telephone and fax numbers of trial counsel;

iii. A brief statement by plaintiff as to the basis of subject matter jurisdiction, and a

brief statement by each other party as to the presence or absence of subject matter

jurisdiction. Such statements shall include citations to all statutes relied on and

relevant facts as to citizenship and jurisdictional amount;

iv. A brief summary by each party of the claims and defenses that the party asserts

remain to be tried, including citations to any statutes on which the party relies.

Such summaries shall also identify all claims and defenses previously asserted

which are not to be tried. The summaries should not recite any evidentiary

matter;

v. A statement as to the number of trial days needed and whether the case is to be

tried with or without a jury, without identifying which parties do or do not seek a

jury trial;

vi. A statement as to whether or not all parties have consented to trial by a magistrate

judge, without identifying which parties do or do not consent;

vii. Any stipulations or agreed statements of fact or law to which all parties

consent;

viii. A list of all trial witnesses, indicating whether such witnesses will testify in

person or by deposition, and a brief summary of the substance of each witness’s

testimony;

ix. A designation by each party of deposition testimony to be offered in its case in

chief and any counter-designations and objections by any other party; and

x. A list by each party of exhibits to be offered in its case in chief, with one star

indicating exhibits to which no party objects on grounds of authenticity, and two

stars indicating exhibits to which no party objects on any ground.

B. Required Pretrial Filings. Each party shall file and serve with the joint pretrial order:

i. In all cases, motions addressing any evidentiary issues or other matters which

should be resolved in limine;

ii. In all cases where a party believes it would be useful to the Court, a pretrial

memorandum of law;

iii. In jury cases, requests to charge and proposed voir dire questions; and

[10]

iv. In non-jury cases, proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. The

proposed findings of fact should be detailed and should include citations to the

proffered trial testimony and exhibits, as there may be no opportunity for post-

trial submissions.

C. Additional Submissions in Non-Jury Cases. At the time the joint pretrial order is filed,

each party shall submit to the Court and serve on opposing counsel, the following:

i. Copies of affidavits constituting the direct testimony of each trial witness, except

for the direct testimony of an adverse party, a person whose attendance is

compelled by subpoena, or a person for whom the Court has agreed to hear direct

testimony live at the trial. (The Court’s practice is, at the pretrial conference held

after the close of discovery, to determine, after consultation with counsel, which

direct testimony to hear live and which to receive by means of affidavit.) Three

business days after submission of such affidavits, counsel for each party shall

submit a list of all affiants whom he or she intends to cross-examine at the trial.

Only those witnesses who will be cross-examined need to appear at trial. The

original signed affidavits should be brought to trial to be marked as exhibits;

ii. All deposition excerpts which will be offered as substantive evidence, as well as a

one-page synopsis of those excerpts for each deposition. Each synopsis shall

include page citations to the pertinent pages of the deposition transcripts; and

iii. All documentary exhibits.

D. Filings in Opposition. Absent another order of the Court, any party may file the

following documents within one week after the filing of the pretrial order, but in no event

less than two days before the scheduled trial date:

i. Objections to another party’s requests to charge or proposed voir dire questions;

ii. Opposition to any motion in limine; and

iii. Opposition to any legal argument in a pretrial memorandum.

E. Courtesy Copies. Two courtesy copies of all documents identified in Sections 5.A–D

above should be submitted to Chambers on the date on which they are to be served or filed.

Voluminous material may be organized either in binders or manila file folders, but in any

event, the courtesy copies shall be separately arranged into two independent sets.

F. Trial Schedule. Trials will generally be conducted Monday through Thursday from 9:30

a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a one-hour break for lunch.

6. Policy on the Use of Electronic Devices

A. Mobile Phones and Personal Electronic Devices. Attorneys’ use of mobile phones,

Blackberries, and other personal electronic devices within the Courthouse and its environs is

governed by Standing Order M10-468. Any attorney wishing to bring a telephone or other

personal electronic device into the Courthouse must be a member of this Court’s Bar, must

obtain the necessary service pass from the District Executive’s Office, and must show the

service pass upon entering the Courthouse. Mobile phones are permitted inside the

[11]

Courtroom, but must be kept turned off at all times. Non-compliance with this rule will

result in forfeiture of the device for the remainder of the proceedings.

B. Computers, or Other Electronic Equipment. In order for an attorney to bring into the

Courthouse any computer, printer, or other electronic equipment not qualifying as a

“personal electronic device,” specific authorization is required by prior Court Order. Any

party seeking to bring such equipment into the Courthouse should send a letter to Chambers

at least 10 business days before the relevant trial or hearing requesting permission to use such

equipment. The letter shall identify the type(s) of equipment to be used and the name(s) of

the attorney(s) who will be using the equipment, printers will not be permitted. Chambers

will coordinate with the District Executive’s Office to issue the Order and forward a copy to

counsel. The Order must be shown upon bringing the equipment into the Courthouse.

[12]
