SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 9 – Solomon Appiah
was in his car in front of
1180 Webster Avenue in The
Bronx on March 22, 2018 when
his car was hit by a truck
with New Jersey plates, owned
by World Import of Livingston
Avenue, LLC. Appiah
sued.
He filed
suit in state court, in The
Bronx. But the NJ-based
defendant removed it to
Federal court. On September 9
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge James L. Cott
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
One of the
lawyer said that he would not
long remain as counsel of
record. Judge Cott pointed out
that this could result in a
new lawyer disagreeing with
the schedule to be set that
day.
He also said that
90 days to amend the complaint
in this case was too long.
"This is not rocket science,"
he said.
Only last
week, Judge Cott was handling
criminal case after criminal
case in the Magistrates Court.
But the (federal / diversity)
law covers car crashes, too.
This case is
Appiah v. Espinal et al.,
20-cv-4575 (Cott)
