That agency is directed to forward copies of Plaintiff's prison trust fund account for the past six months and to disburse the payments required under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and to include the above docket number on the disbursement before sending it to the Court. If Plaintiff is transferred to another facility, the current facility shall provide a copy of this order to the facility to which Plaintiff is transferred. The Clerk of Court is also directed to send a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. Finally, it is Plaintiff's obligation to promptly submit a written notification to the Court if Plaintiff's address changes, and the Court may dismiss the action if Plaintiff fails to do so.

2018-02-2046ORDER OF SERVICE: Plaintiff, currently incarcerated at the Attica Correctional Facility, brings this pro se action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of his constitutional rights. By order dated February 3, 2017, the Court granted Plaintiff's request to proceed without prepayment of fees, that is, informa pauperis. On February 8, 2018, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint which adds new defendants to the action. To allow Plaintiff to effect service on newly-named Defendant Lt. Penney through the U.S. Marshals Service, the Clerk of Court is instructed to fill out a U.S. Marshals Service Process Receipt and Return form ("USM-285 form") for this defendant. The service address for this defendant is as follows: Lt. Penney # 041, Orange County Jail, 110 Wells Farm Road, Goshen, New York 10924. The Clerk of Court is further instructed to issue a summons and deliver to the Marshals Service all of the paperwork necessary for the Marshals Service to effect service upon this defendant. It is Plaintiff's responsibility to ensure that service is made within 90 days of the date the summons is issued and, if necessary, to request an extension of time for service. See Meilleur v. Strong, 682 F.3d 56, 63 (2d Cir. 2012). Plaintiff also must notify the Court in writing if his address changes, and the Court may dismiss the action if he fails to do so.

Thus, any request for a stay of discovery must be made to Judge Karas. Plaintiff's opposition to this letter application similarly asks the undersigned to deny Defendants' application to file such a motion, but that application, and any opposition thereto, must be made to Judge Karas.

2020-12-01132ORDER: This case was reassigned to the undersigned on October 15, 2020, following the retirement of Judge Lisa Margaret Smith on September 30, 2020. During the final status conference held by Judge Smith on September 23, 2020, because the Court was informed that Plaintiff was due to be released from prison on October 15, 2020, the Court directed Plaintiff to provide the Court with his updated contact information upon his release. See Docket Sheet, Minute Entry for 09/23/2020. It was the Courts understanding at that time that Defendants counsel planned to depose Plaintiff, as well as have Plaintiff undergo an independent medical examination (IME) following his release, and therefore it was essential that Plaintiff keep both the Court and Defendants counsel informed of his new contact information. Nonetheless, it is clear from the docket that Plaintiff has failed to provide updated contact information to the Court, and Defendants counsel has informed the Court that she also does not have current contact information for Plaintiff. See ECF No. 130 (letter from Defendants counsel, attached hereto). Defendants counsel has also informed that Court that Plaintiff also did not appear for either his deposition, which had been scheduled for November 5, 2020, or his IME, which had been scheduled for November 17, 2020; Plaintiff had previously received notice of these dates, and confirmed that he had received such notice during the September 23, 2020 telephone conference. See ECF No. 130. The Court has undertaken efforts to identify Plaintiffs new address. By no later than December 22, 2020, Plaintiff must: (1) contact Defendants counsel by telephone at 845-291- 3150 to reschedule his deposition and IME; and (2) provide both Defendants counsel and the Court with his updated contact information. The deadline for Plaintiffs deposition and IME is hereby extended by 60 days, from December 4, 2020, to February 2, 2021. Defendants counsel is directed to submit a letter via ECF on or before December 23, 2020 to advise the Court as to whether Plaintiff has contacted her and the dates for the rescheduled deposition and IME. Once again, the Court instructs Plaintiff that it is his responsibility to keep the Court informed of his latest contact information and that any failure to do so might result in the Court dismissing his case for failure to prosecute. The Clerk of the Court is directed to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff at 11 Liberty Street, Newburgh, New York 12550. If this is, in fact, the proper address for Plaintiff, Plaintiff must take the necessary steps to update his address on file with the Court. (Deposition due by 2/2/2021.)
