ORDER: Plaintiff shall respond by 9/18/2026 to Defendant's claim that "the complaint on its face presents no specific factual allegations to warrant a claim of punitive damages." DE 34 at 1. In addition, Plaintiff shall address the relevant case law regarding the Court's evaluation of punitive damages for purposes of determining whether diversity jurisdiction exists. See, e.g., Jean-Louis v. Amazon.com Servs., LLC, No. 22CV5020PKCRER, 2022 WL 3867668, at *4 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 29, 2022)("[In] computing [the] jurisdictional amount, a claim for punitive damages is to be given closer scrutiny, and the trial judge accorded greater discretion, than a claim for actual damages." (quotation omitted)); see also Stiler v. Great N. Ins. Co., No. 07 CIV. 2236 (MDF), 2008 WL 11517681, at *4 (S.D.N.Y.

Ordered by Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst on 8/28/2026. (GAW)
