J. Choudhury tosses a class action brought by a self-representing litigant claiming several entities orchestrated a scheme to bankrupt and ultimately close an all-girls Catholic high school in Long Island, as well as other schools throughout the country. His claims do not concern federal law or establish diversity jurisdiction. Most notably, the court rules a pro se litigant cannot serve as class representative and class counsel at the same time, as that would unfairly prejudice the class members.

Choudhury affirms a magistrate judge’s order compelling the depositions of two New York State public health commissioners in a class action alleging the state’s health department and mental health office fail to provide certain mental health services to Medicaid-eligible children. The judge granted the motion after ruling the commissioners possess unique, firsthand knowledge regarding the claims and that information cannot be obtained through other means. The court finds the ruling without any clear error.

J. Choudhury affirms a magistrate judge’s order granting a female litigant’s motion to strike a report submitted by the defense’s expert in connection with her employment-related pregnancy discrimination and retaliation complaint against ADP, a payroll services company. The report compiled a list of more than 34,000 relevant job postings which her former employer was going to use to argue she failed to mitigate her losses after she was fired. The court agrees with the judge’s order finding the report qualifies as expert discovery and would need to be properly addressed by litigant’s counsel despite the fact that discovery in the case has already ended.

J. Choudhury, ruling on a motion for reconsideration, finds the court did not err when it denied a rare coin and precious metals supplier’s motion for a temporary restraining order that sought to prohibit a competitor from soliciting its customers. The supplier fails to argue the competitor’s actions could not simply be compensable by money damages as established by legal precedent or that the competitor had obtained its customers’ information solely from its master customer list, not from other sources.
