Washington v. Johnson
Washington v. Johnson
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK.
LANDON L. WASHINGTON, Plaintiff, 22 Civ. 1440 (PAE) (GWG) -V- OPINION & ORDER C.0, JOHNSON, Food Service Officer, CAPT. SMART, Area Supervisor, CITY OF NEW YORK, Defendants,
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge: On February 3, 2023, the Court received, by mail, the attached documents from pro se plaintiff Landon L, Washington (“Washington”). The documents were received after the Court filed its opinion and order adopting the Report and Recommendation (the “Report”) of the Honorable Gabriel W. Gorenstein, Magistrate Judge and granting defendants’ motion to dismiss. Dkt. 35. The documents include: (1) a letter from Washington, dated January 22, 2023, indicating that he wishes to respond to the motion to dismiss and object to the Report; (2) an inmate statement form by Washington, dated January 19, 2023, filing a grievance with the City of New York’s Department of Correction; and (3) a disposition form by the Office of Constituent and Grievance Services, dated January 20, 2023, stating that Washington’s complaint had been “substantiated” and forwarded to the Warden’s office for resolution. The Court, having reviewed the materials, finds that they do not alter its decision to adopt the Report in its entirety and to dismiss Washington’s claims against the moving defendants. For one, the materials are untimely. The Report, which was filed on December 21, 2022, stated that the parties had “fourteen (14) days (including weekends and holidays) from service of this
Report and Recommendation to file any objections,” making the deadline for any objections January 4, 2023. Dkt. 33 at 7. Washington’s objections, dated 18 days later, are thus untimely. Tn any event, even if the attached documents were timely submitted, “[c]ourts do not generally consider new evidence raised in objections to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.” Tavares v. City of New York, No. 08 Civ. 3782 (PAE),
2011 WL 5877548, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 23, 2011) (collecting cases). To the extent Washington asserts that there are ongoing violations or actionable conduct post-dating the conduct addressed in the Report, he is at liberty to pursue new claims in a separate action, upon exhaustion of his administrative remedies.
SO ORDERED.
Paul A. Engelmayer United States District Judge
