ORDER re14 Response to Order to Show Cause. Plaintiffs seek the Court's permission to file an amended complaint adding new plaintiffs and to move for default judgment. See Response to Order to Show Cause (Mar. 30, 2017), Electronic Case Filing Docket Entry #14. Notwithstanding plaintiffs' assertions to the contrary, the Court has serious doubts about the viability of their claims in light of the Second Circuit's decision in Georges v. United Nations , 834 F.3d 88 (2d Cir. 2016). If the United Nations wishes to oppose plaintiffs' request, its opposition is due by April 24, 2017 . The United States Attorney is also invited to file a letter by that same date expressing the view of the United States concerning plaintiffs' request. Copies of this order will be mailed to the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs and the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York. Ordered by Chief Mag. Judge Roanne L. Mann on 4/7/2017. (Pauley, Anders) (Main Document 15 replaced on 4/7/2017) (Pauley, Anders)
