SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 28 – Michael
Menzies sued the Long Island
Railroad Company, where he
worked as a radio technician
untli May 24,
2018.
On September 28 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
John G. Koeltl held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Koeltl
noted that they still have
their October 5 trial date,
but no one knows if it will
actually happen, given the
COVID era scheduling and the
prioritization of criminal
cases with detained
defendants.
Still, if
the trial does go forward,
Judge Koeltl ordered the
parties to be sure to bring
hard copies of exhibits.
Counsel responded
that in another SDNY case a
USB of exhibits had been sent
into the jury room.
Judge
Koeltl said his way is to give
the jurors only those exhibits
they ask for, so in hard copy,
not USB or laptop.
The case is
Menzies v. Long Island
Railroad Company, 19-cv-11235
(Koeltl)
