SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 18 – A prisoner who
got impacted wisdom tooth
surgery without, he says,
having given consent sued the
City of New York and the
medical personnel involved.
On May 17,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
new Magistrate Judge Valerie
Figueredo held a telephone
conference. Inner City Press
covered it.
The plaintiff is
now out of jail; he called in
from a City bus as he said the
homeless shelter he is living
in would not let him back in
until six p.m.
Judge
Figueredo said it was fine,
she could hear him fine.
She told the
defendants' lawyer to confer
with him on a case management
plan. It was a more humane
proceeding that it might
otherwise have been.
The case is
Gomez-Kadawid v. Lee et al.,
20-cv-1786 (Caproni /
Figueredo)
