SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 30 – Howard
Milstein's Emigrant Bank and
its Fiduciary Network sued
Mark P. Hurley in December
2018 seeking among other
things "a declaration that it
does not owe Hurley
approximately one million five
hundred thousands dollars in
legal fees he has demanded
from the Company stemming from
its investigation into the
circumstances surrounding his
arrest for domestic violence
in November 2017."
The case
was removed to the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
and on May 11, 2020 SDNY Judge
Gregory H. Woods held a
pre-trial conference which
Inner City Press
covered.
One
issue was whether the error
had been made in not
explicitly requesting a jury
trial. But the other issue is
when jury trials will begin
again in the SDNY.
Judge
Woods, precise as ever, said
that the default position will
be a jury trial. He set a
schedule for summary judgment
motions and predicted that he
would be back in his chambers,
if not courtroom, in two
months time. It has taken more
time than that.
On November
30, 2021, Judge Woods held a
proceeding in the case, by
phone. Inner City Press called
in and covered it. Hurley had
filed a motion for sanctions,
for alleged discovery
violations.
But on
November 30, Judge Woods
denied the motion for
sanctions.
The case is
Fiduciary Network, LLC v.
Hurley, 19-cv-379 (Woods).
