Subject: Quiz
of the Month, Updated Practices for Judge's Marrero,
Sullivan & Sand
Judge Marrero, Judge
Sullivan & Judge Sand have recently updated their individual practice
rules. We have highlighted a few items below from their practice rules,
which we feel you should pay particular attention
to. Please pay particular attention to the sections marked in red. If you
have any cases before them, please download a copy and forward them to the
attorneys working on the cases.
Judge Victor Marrero
Judge Marrero has recently
updated his Civil Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order. We have
included a version below. We thought it would be a good idea to do a review
of his individual rules. We have included a few sections which we thought
would be of interest to the CourtAlert community.
Courtesy Copies.
Two courtesy copies of
all motion papers, and one courtesy copy of all other filings (including pleadings, stipulations, and
all submissions to the Orders and Judgments Clerk)
Documentation.
If depositions are cited in
Memoranda of Law and attached thereto, the exhibit should not be limited to clipped excerpts or
selective pages, but should include either the entire relevant testimony of
the person deposed or, if it is too extensive, all of the pertinent
testimony setting forth contextually the matter addressed. In connection
with motions for summary judgment, Local Rule 56.1 Statements shall be
“short and concise,” and shall not be used for argumentation of legal
issues or extensive recitation of deposition testimony or repetition of conclusory pleadings.
Bankruptcy Appeals.
Briefs must be submitted
in accordance with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8009.
Counsel may extend these dates by stipulation submitted to the Court no later than two business days before the brief is due.

Second Circuit Opinions and Summary Orders
We recently released CourtAlert 188 this week and we appreciate all of the
positive comments we have received. This alert was designed because clients
were having to continually go into the 2nd Circuit
web site throughout the morning to search for any new opinions or summary
orders being posted. CourtAlert 188 will now be
doing that for you. As a matter of fact today was the first day since this
new alert started that additional opinions and summary orders were posted
and CourtAlert was there to notify the community.
We would like to thank the clients for suggesting this idea along with the
many other ever growing idea's to make CourtAlert
stand out from any other vendor.
