moped or e-bike which fell on
her outside of 360 East 55th

On August

for the Southern District of
New York Judge Paul A.
Engelmayer held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
The plaintiff's
lawyer said all he had was the
food delivery receipt, and the
UberEats delivery person's
first name: Tika.
Judge Engelmayer
asked if was Indian food that
was being delivered.
No, counsel
replied, it was chicken
fingers.
Counsel
for Uber said its delivery
vehicles that are moped have
no insurance.
Judge Engelmayer
set a schedule for summary
judgment motion(s), saying he
could already see the theory
of such a motion for Uber.
He set a next
conference for January 16 at
10 am.
