SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 5 – Stephen Gannon with
one leg amputated and using a
wheelchair has sued at least
three businesses / buildings
for violations of the
Americans with Disabilities
Act, including Hun Shing Corp.
which owns 76 Orchard Street
on the Lower East Side and H
Optics which a storefront
there.
On July 1,
2022 U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Ronnie Abrams held
a proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge
Abrams noted that her fellow
SDNY Judge Edgardo Ramos had
declined to consolidate a
Gannon case before him with
this case; the plaintiff's
lawyer referred to a third
case before Magistrate Judge
James L. Cott (with District
Judge Gregory Woods ultimately
presiding).
However,
Gannon's lawyer said he would
consent to letting all three
defendants depose his client
at the same time and use the
transcript in all three cases.
This case is
Gannon v. Hun Shing Corp. et
al., 22-cv-1681
(Abrams)
