ORDER deferring ruling on 40 Letter Motion to Stay: We'll discuss all this on January 2, and of course I have not seen all the pre-motion correspondence yet, but I wanted to alert the parties that unless I become convinced that the motions to dismiss are clearly meritorious or that the motion for a preliminary injunction is clearly not meritorious, I am unlikely to stay the latter pending the former, given that Plaintiffs are seeking relief relating to an election in May.

ORDER: In order to facilitate the progress of pre-trial discovery of this litigation in a just, speedy and inexpensive manner, to ensure compliance with the case management plan, and to prevent the accumulation of unresolved discovery issues, the following procedures will be followed for the resolution of discovery disputes: The party objecting to disclosure, claiming an insufficient response to a discovery request or asserting a privilege bears the burden of coming forward by bringing the dispute to the attention of the Court as hereinafter set forth. In calculating when a dispute arises, the Court anticipates that the parties have complied with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Civil Rules of the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, in that the discovery demand or disclosure at issue and the adversary's response have been served, and as further set forth in this order.
