Judge Nelson S. Roman

To arrange a pre-motion conference, the moving party shall submit a letter, not to exceed three pages, setting forth the basis for the anticipated motion. The opposing party shall submit a letter, also not to exceed three pages, setting forth its position within three business days from the service of the moving party’s letter.

Unless prior permission has been granted, memoranda of law in support of and in opposition to motions are limited to 25 pages, and reply memoranda are limited to 10 pages.

All memoranda of law shall be in 12-point font or larger and be double-spaced. Memoranda of 10 pages or more shall contain a table of contents and a table of authorities, neither of which shall count against the page limit.

Any Rule 56.1 statement in support of a motion for summary judgment is limited to no more than 25 pages, unless leave of the Court to file a longer document is obtained at least one week prior to the due date of such motion for summary judgment.

Parties may redact the above five categories of 'sensitive information' and the six categories of information requiring caution (i.e., personal identifying number; medical records, treatment and diagnosis; employment history; individual financial information; proprietary or trade secret information; and information regarding an individual's cooperation with the government) as described in the ECF Privacy Policy, without application to the Court. If any material is redacted from the publicly filed document, only those pages containing the redacted material will be filed under seal.

Each synopsis shall include page citations to the pertinent pages and lines of the deposition transcripts.

In Civil Cases. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, all conferences and proceedings in civil cases will be held by telephone. In some cases, the Court may direct one of the parties to set up a conference line. In all other cases, the parties should call into the Court’s dedicated conference line at (877) 336-1839, and enter Access Code 123-1334, followed by the pound (#) key.

In Criminal Cases. To the maximum extent possible, all conferences and proceedings will be held by either telephone or video. No later than one week before a scheduled appearance, counsel must confer and submit a letter to the Court indicating their views on whether the Court can, consistent with the U.S. Constitution, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (see, e.g., Rules 5(f), 10(b) & (c), and 43) and any other relevant law, conduct the matter by telephone or video and, if applicable, whether the Defendant either consents to appearing in that manner or to waiving his or her appearance altogether.

Telephone calls will not be answered. Thus, parties are encouraged to make any requests or inquiries to the Court through ECF or, if permitted or required under the Court’s Individual Rules and Practices, by email.

For urgent matters requiring immediate attention, parties should send an email to Chambers that (1) includes the word “URGENT” in the subject line; (2) specifies the case name and docket number; (3) briefly describes the nature of the issue; and (4) provides a telephone number at which the party (and any other relevant parties) can be reached.

Faxes are not permitted for any purposes.

Nothing may be delivered to Chambers absent advance permission from the Court.

Pro se parties are encouraged to (1) consent to electronic service (via ECF or email); or (2) seek the Court’s permission to file documents through the ECF system or by email to the Court. Unless the Court grants permission to file documents electronically, all communications with the Court by a pro se party must be mailed to: Pro Se Intake Unit Charles L. Brieant Courthouse 300 Quarropas Street White Plains, NY 10601

Upon assignment of a new criminal case to Judge Román, the Assistant United States Attorney must immediately email the Court to arrange for a prompt conference.

The email should (1) include the word “URGENT” in the subject line; (2) provide a telephone number at which the party (and any other relevant parties) can be reached; and (3) provide the relevant parties’ availability for a telephone conference in the next few days.

The pro se party must file an original of this Statement with the Pro Se Clerk and serve a copy on all other pro se parties.

All communications with the Court by a pro se party must be mailed to the Pro Se Clerk. No document or filing should be sent directly to Chambers.
