Order on Motion for Leave to File Document
Thu 10/28 5:33 PM
ORDER denying30 Motion for Leave to File Document. It is herebyORDERED that Plaintiffs motion to file an amended complaint is DENIED, as Plaintiffs proposed amendments do not cure the deficiencies in the Dismissal Order. The PFAC alleges that Defendants owed Plaintiff a duty based on an alleged internal policy, stemming from a public statement in which a McKinsey spokesperson stated that McKinsey has not and never would engage in any work that seeks to target individuals based on their views. Such a statement does not give rise to a reasonable inference that Defendants maintained a policy to protect and warn individuals identified in the course of their work, that such a policy existed at the time of the alleged breach, and that such a policy was intended to apply to third parties, such as Plaintiff. Even if the PFAC sufficiently alleged the existence of such a policy, it would not be sufficient grounds for establishing a duty under New York law. In Pink v. Rome Youth Hockey Assn Inc., 63 N.E.3d 1148, 1151 (N.Y. 2016), the New York Court of Appeals instructed thatthe violation of an organizations internal rules is not negligence in and of itself, and wherean internal policy exceeds the standard of ordinary care, it cannot serve as a basis for liability (internal quotation marks and citation omitted); see also Oddo v. Queens Vill. Comm. For Mental Health for Jamaica Cmty. Adolescent Program, Inc., 71 N.E.3d 946, 950 (N.Y. 2017) (declining to find defendant was negligent for failing to follow an internal policy); Safa v. Bay Ridge Auto, 924 N.Y.S.3d 535, 537 (2d Dept 2011) (There is no basis for the proposition that a party may be liable for failing to follow a policy which it has adopted voluntarily, and without legal obligation, especially when there is no showing of detrimental reliance by the plaintiff on the defendant following that policy) (internal quotation marks omitted). Here, a policy requiring Defendant to identify and warn any person who might be negatively affected in the course of conducting research, performing investigations, or otherwise providing information to a client would exceed the standard of ordinary care. As the Dismissal Order explained, New York courts typically resist such broad expansions of the duty of care. The PFAC also fails to allege any new facts indicating that Defendant had the authority and ability to control KSA or MBS in their conduct toward Plaintiff. Oddo, 71 N.E.3d at 950. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed close all outstanding motions, cancel the pre- motion conference scheduled for November 4, 2021 at 11:00 a.m., and terminate the case. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 10/28/2021) (tg) |
