CASE NO:
7:25-cv-94–WLS
ORDER
On April 16, 2026, just seven days after filing his Third Amended Complaint (Doc.
45), pro se Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to File Fourth Amended Complaint (Doc. 46)
(“Motion”). In addition to clarifying and adding factual allegations “to provide a more precise
and organized presentation of claims,” Plaintiff seeks to add another Defendant, Charles
Phillips (“Phillips”), who Plaintiff alleges acted as Plaintiff’s supervisor. Plaintiff also seeks to
add claims for (1) Fraud/Misrepresentation against all Defendants ARE Telecommunications
LLC (“ARE”), C.U. Employment, Inc. (“CUE”), Mediacom Communications Corporation
(“Mediacom”), Ryan Zellner (“Zellner”) and Charles Phillips (“Phillips”); (2) Bailment against
ARE, CUE, and Zellner; (3) and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress against all
Defendants. The Court finds that a shortened response period is warranted.
Accordingly, on or before close of business on Monday, April 27, 2026, Defendants
may file their response(s), if any, to the Motion. No further briefs shall be filed except upon
the filing of a motion for good cause and with the Court’s permission. This matter will be
taken under consideration after the briefing period as ordered is closed.
SO ORDERED, this 20th day of April 2026.
