SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 21 –
Back in 2019 Inner City Press
reported
on the dispute about the
Fearless Girl statue between
its creator Kristen Visbal and
State Street Global Advisors
which commissioned it.
In a
conference
held in Judge
Woods 12th
floor
courtroom with
Inner City
Press alone in
the gallery,
Judge Woods
urged the
lawyers to
meet to narrow
difference in
the week of
June 10.
Meanwhile he
will be making
a referral to
an SDNY
Magistrate
Judge.
The
terms on
which Ms. Visbal can
sell to
executives at
other financial
institutions
may be among
the "Delta"
issues the
lawyers and
then Judge
Woods referred
to.
"It will be a
better
marriage if
there is a
better
courtship,"
Judge Woods
said. The
relationship
between
scultor and
bank is
meant to be
ongoing, for
better or worse.
Inner City Press
said it would continue
to cover this
case. And it
has.
On
March 1, 2022
Judge Woods
held another
conference in the
case. Steve
Mitby is
seeking to withdraw as
counsel, and
said that
Philippe
Zimmerman can
continued. The
latter
demurred, and
Ms. Visball asked
how to file.
Not by email,
Judge Woods
said, then speaking
ominously
about lawyers
allowing their
ECF
privileges to
be misused.
Inner City Press'
question is, how is
the press to
file for
court openness
and against
sealing, as in
US v. Edwards?
On
March 10 Judge
Woods granted
Seiler Mitby,
PLLC's motion
to withdraw
and gave
Visbal a stay
under June 8
to search for
and
retain new
counsel.
On
March 21 Judge
Woods held
another proceeding
and Inner City
Press again
covered it.
Judge Woods
granted a
second motion
to withdraw
as counsel and
gave Ms.
Visbal
instructions
how to file
her own
papers. She
spoke for herself
about the
Department of
Transportation
and State
Street.
The case
is
State Street
Global
Advisors Trust
Co v Visbal, 19-cv-
1719 (Woods)
