Rothstein et al v. Fung et al, No. 1:2008cv05123 - Document 20 (S.D.N.Y. 2009)

Court Description: OPINION AND ORDER:# 97165 Finally, I note that even if Ms. Rothstein had shown that her case had merit, she has not described any efforts to locate counsel on her own. To the contrary, she affirmatively states that she has not attempted to retain cou nsel on her own, citing her age and the fact that she lives aborad. Neither of these facts excuses her from making this showing. Accordingly, Ms. Rothstein's motion (Docket Item 6) is denied without prejudice to renewal. Any renewed application should specifically address the factors identified above. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Henry B. Pitman on 3/4/2009) Copies Mailed By Chambers.(jfe) Modified on 3/6/2009 (jab).
