Chavez v. Finney ( 2022 )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT ELECTRONICALLY FILED SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DOC#: DATE FILED: 04/12/2022 JUAN PABLO CHAVEZ, Plaintiff, v. No. 19-CV-4109 (RA) SERGEANT WILLIAM FINNEY, OFFICER ORDER STEPHEN STREICHER, and OFFICER ANTHONY TORTORICE, Defendants. RONNIE ABRAMS, United States District Judge: On March 23, 2022, the Court issued an Opinion and Order granting in part and denying in part Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The Court is in receipt of the attached letter from Plaintiff, in which he expresses his intention to file a Rule 60(b) motion in response to the Court’s ruling. Because Rule 60(b) is not a proper vehicle to challenge a ruling granting in part and denying in part summary judgment, see Blond v. Leonard, 277 F. Supp. 3d 420, 423 (W.D.N.Y. 2017), the Court construes Plaintiff’s letter as expressing an intention to file a motion for reconsideration. If Plaintiff agrees with this construction, he shall file a motion for reconsideration by May 13, 2022. Any such motion should set forth the basis for Plaintiff’s belief that the March 23 Order should be reconsidered because of “controlling decisions of data that the [C]ourt overlooked,” Shrader v. CSX Transp., Inc., 70 F.3d 255, 257 (2d Cir. 1995), “an intervening change of controlling law, the availability of new evidence, or the need to correct a clear error or prevent manifest injustice.” Virgin Atl. Airways, Ltd. v. Nat’l Mediation Bd., 956 F.2d 1245, 1255 (2d Cir. 1992). If Plaintiff does not agree that his motion is best understood as a motion for reconsideration, he shall submit a letter by May 13 setting forth the basis for his belief that another procedural vehicle governs his request. Specifically, the Court notes the possibility that Plaintiff may be seeking to appeal the Court’s March 23 ruling to the Second Circuit—either in addition to a motion for reconsideration or in the alternative to a motion for reconsideration. Because the March 23 Order was not a final order, however, it is only appealable if the Court certifies an interlocutory appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). If Plaintiff intends to move for certification of an interlocutory appeal, he shall explain in his May 13 letter why the March 23 Order “involves a controlling question of law . . . as to which there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion,” and why an immediate appeal from the March 23 Order “may materially advance the altaite termination of the litigation.” Capitol Recs., LLC v. Vimeo, LLC, 972 F. Supp. 2d 537, 551 (S.D.N.Y. 2013). The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff at the California address listed below and to add this California address to the docket for future communications with Plaintiff, SO ORDERED. “ee □□□ Lif ew York, New Yor AA Hon.
