    09/21/2007 TEXT ORDER taking under advisement 148 State Defendants' Letter-Motionto change the caption ofthis case. By this Letter-Motion, State Defendantsadvise the Court that the caption of the August 3,2007 Order may be error inthat we listed Attorney General Andrew Cuomo as a party in his officialcapacity, and Eliot Spitzer in his individual capacity as well as in his officialcapacity as Governor. State Defendants observe that former AttorneyGeneral, Eliot Spitzer, was dropped from this case at the time Plaintiffs filedtheir First Amended Complaint. Further, State Defendants note that NealSchoen should be noted in the caption as a party in his official capacityinasmuch as he has replaced Defendant Jill Dunn as Deputy Commissionerand Counsel to DMV. The Court has reviewed the First Amended Complaintand notes that then Attorney General Eliot Spitzer was not listed as a party.The Court is prepared to amend the caption and the case docket accordinglybut would ask Plaintiffs to verify whether these observations are accurate, assoon as possible but no later than September 25,2007. We will then issue anorder correcting the caption and the case docket. Signed by Judge RandolphF. Treece on 9/21/07. (Treece, Randolph) (Entered: 09/21/2007)

Therefore, the parties are directed to electronically file allof the dates and times that they may be available for a telephone conferenceto address the Scheduling Order.
