SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 19 – Niurka Feliciano was
hit by a Ryder truck on 165th
Street and Gerard Avenue in
The Bronx on November 12,
2019. She sued in state court.
It was removed to Federal
court.
On June 21, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John G. Koeltl held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Before
Judge Koeltl began, one of the
counsel asked what this was,
that a paralegal had just told
him to call in. He asked, "Is
this Federal court?" Then, the
two counsel agreed, We can get
through this.
Judge Koeltl
asked about a deficiency in
the pleadings for removal,
which didn't say where the
parties are domiciled. Still,
the case will continue, with
discovery running to December
17.
The case is
Feliciano v. Corchado et al.,
21-cv-3342 (Koeltl)
