ORDER granting 32 Letter Motion for Conference re: 32 FIRST LETTER MOTION for Conference Pre-Motion Conf. for Motion to Dismiss addressed to Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald from Marilyn Richter dated May. Having reviewed the parties' pre-motion letters, dated May 20, 2022 and May 25, 2022, the Court has determined that defendants may bring their motion without the necessity of a pre-motion conference. Plaintiffs are reminded that if, consistent with Rule 11, they can assert additional allegations to cure any alleged deficiencies raised by defendants' letter, it would be in the best interest of both the parties and the Court for plaintiffs to assert them now, before briefing on the proposed motions. Plaintiffs are thus granted leave to file an amended complaint within two weeks of this Order. At that time, if no amended complaint has been filed, the parties should confer on a briefing schedule agreeable to both sides, in which no more than sixty days elapse from the filing of defendants' motion to the filing of defendants' reply..

LETTER: addressed to Counsel from Naomi Reice Buchwald, United States District Judge dated 1/20/2023 re: Our review of the submissions on defendants motion to dismiss has raised the question of whether the doctrine of Pullman abstention is applicable to this case. Under Railroad Comm'n of Texas v. Pullman Co., 312 U.S. 496, 500 (1941) and its progeny, "federal courts should abstain when litigants challenge state actions on federal constitutional grounds in federal court and the answer to an unsettled question of state law might eliminate the need to decide the federal constitutional question or materially alter the way the federal court would view that question." 17A Moore's Federal Practice - Civil §122.20. As the parties may be aware, federal courts are permitted to raise the issue of abstention sua sponte. See Catlin v. Ambach, 820 F.2d 588, 591 (2d Cir. 1987). Each party is directed to file submissions no longer than ten (10) pages on February 3, 2023. Each party may also file a rebuttal submission no longer than five (5) pages on February 10, 2023. The Court will inform the parties if it believes that oral argument would be valuable..(ama) (Entered: 01/20/2023)
