Re: Tibor Gasparik vs. Stony Brook University
CV 05-3817 (SJF/ARL)
Your Honor, Judge Feuerstein:
I am plaintiff pro se, TIBOR GASPARIK, in the above captioned case against the defendant, Stony Brook University, and this letter is in opposition to the request by the defendant, represented by their attorney, ELIOT SPITZER, Attorney General of the State of New York, and by Lori L. Pack, Assistant Attorney General, for an extension time to file a motion to dismiss in the above captioned case.
After repeated requests and prompts to either file the motion to dismiss or initiate discovery, as documented by 4 communications from
11/17/2005,
12/6/2005,
12/14/2005 and
1/7/2006 (all filed in the docket), and not receiving any answers, I was forced to write a letter on
1/19/2006 to the magistrate judge, Honorable Arlene R. Lindsay, and ask her for help in this matter (enclosed). The defendant filed a complete package containing the initial disclosures and first set of interrogatories and request for documents the same day. This clearly shows that the package had been prepared well in advance and the defendant waited as long as it was possible to send it, with the intention to delay the action as long as possible. The defendant knows that I had to put my life on hold, have limited resources, and hopes that I will run out of finances and give up if these proceedings are delayed long enough. These delaying tactics follow 4 years of the same kind of efforts by the defendant before I went to court to essentially starve me out of my position of Research Associate Professor by sabotaging my every effort to generate income in this position. The attorney general only continues in this strategy.
If your Honor grants the defendant this request for an extension of time to submit the motion to dismiss, this could cause me and my family serious hardship, since all other parties in this action receive their paychecks and do not suffer financially. Thank you for your kind attention on this matter and for your understanding of my desperate situation.
Respectfully yours,
Tibor Gasparik, Plantiff pro se
