MARK STEELE,

& a m p ; Plaintiff, \ & a m p ; -v-

TRI STATE AUTO TRANSPORT LLC, and CONNOR JOHN KASSIK,

Defendants.

19 Civ. 11642 (PAE)

ORDER

PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:

This action is proceeding in parallel with an action brought in the New York Supreme Court, Bronx County, by the two passengers of Mark Steele's vehicle at the time of the collision at issue in this case, against all parties to this case. See Medina v. Kassik, Index No. 32448/2019E (Sup. Ct. Bx. Cty. 2019) (the "Bronx action"). Given the identical conduct at issue in the two cases, as well as the significant overlap in parties, the Court expects the parties here to coordinate discovery significantly with plaintiffs in the Bronx action, including by serving the Bronx plaintiffs with all papers served in this litigation and by allowing the Bronx plaintiffs to participate in depositions taken during this litigation.

SO ORDERED.

Paul A. Engelmayer United States District Judge

Dated: February 14, 2020 New York, New York
