SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 4 – New York State has
sued the Federal Education
Department's sole-source
contractor FedLoan Servicing
(or PHEAA, the Pennsylvania
Higher Education Assistance
Agency or American Education
Services) for "failing
miserably in its
administration of the Public
Service Loan Forgiveness."
Cited as a basis for
dismissing complaint, &
for limited discovery was
"Yearsley" immunity.
Inner City Press covered it.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Ramos ruled he will
allow full discovery, not just
Yearsley discovery. He
told NYS and FedLoan to meet
and confer and submit a
discovery schedule.
On March 4, Judge
Ramos held another proceeding
and Inner City Press again
covered it. Now NYS AG wants
to file a motion to compel,
arguing that "even if the
state of limitations.. were
three years, NYAG would still
be entitled to documents
pre-dating the three-year
period to the extent such
documents are relevant to
NYAG's actionable claims." The
motion to compel is due March
25.
Inner City
Press will continue to cover
this case. It is People of the
State of New York v. PHEEA,
19-cv-9155 (Ramos).
