MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: 57 Letter filed by RuthAnne Visnauskas, The State of New York, ENDORSEMENT: Defendants may file their motions to dismiss by March 18, 2026. Plaintiffs' opposition is due May 1, 2026, and any replies are due by May 22, 2026. SO ORDERED (Signed by Judge John P. Cronan on 2/3/2026) ( Motions due by 3/18/2026., Responses due by 5/1/2026, Replies due by 5/22/2026.) (ks) (Entered: 02/04/2026)

STIPULATION REGARDING INTERVENTION: THEREFORE the Parties stipulate that: 1. The Proposed Intervenors shall brief dispositive motions according to the same schedule as the named Defendants. 2. Throughout the litigation, the Proposed Intervenors will not propound any discovery, and Plaintiffs will not seek any discovery against the Proposed Intervenors. This agreement does not affect the Proposed Intervenors' rights to receive and rely upon any discovery material produced or exchanged in the litigation. 3. Proposed Intervenors shall comply with Rule 26(a)'s disclosure requirements. Subject to the terms of the above stipulation, the Court permits NY Tenants & Neighbors and Community Voices Heard to intervene under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(b). "To be granted intervention as of right or by permission, an applicant must (1) timely file an application, (2) show an interest in the action, (3) demonstrate that the interest may be impaired by the disposition of the action, and (4) show that the interest is not protected adequately by the parties to the action." Floyd v. City of New York, 770 F.3d 1051, 1057 (2d Cir. 2014). Here, the motion for intervention is made at the outset of litigation and the proposed intervenors have an interest that may be impaired by the disposition of this action because they are associations that advocated for the provisions challenged here and whose members include tenants of rent-stabilized apartments. Additionally, although the Defendants will ably litigate this case, intervention is still appropriate because "the addition of the intervenors will assist in the just and equitable adjudication of any of the issues between the parties. Allco Fin. Ltd. v. Etsy, 300 F.R.D. 83, 88 (D. Conn. 2014) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Oneida Grp. Inc. v. Steelite Int'l U.S.A. Inc., No. 17 Civ. 0957 (ADS), 2017 WL 6459464, at *13 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 15, 2017) (collecting cases in which "courts have found permissive intervention warranted even where there was adequacy of representation"). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge John P.
