SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 22 –
People who were ousted from
City Hall Park in lower
Manhattan on July 22, 2020
have sued the City of New
York.
On March 22, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Lewis J. Liman held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it - and live tweeted
here:
OK - now a
proceeding about the "military
style operation" to clear NYC
City Hall Park on 7/22/20 amid
the George Floyd & NYPD
budget protests.
It's before Judge
Liman who has tomorrow off in
the Larry Ray trial.
The
complaint says police rousted
protesters with no time to
gather their belongings.
The causes of action include
conversion and "trespass to
chattel."
Former Mayor Bill
De Blasio is sued by name, as
it Sanitation Commissioner Ed
Grayson.
Judge
Liman: Is there any prospect
for settlement?
Answer:
Plaintiffs are seeking
additional discover.
Judge Liman: I'm
not going to refer you to the
Magistrate Judge then. I don't
do settlement conference
myself. If you'd like a
referral later, write me and
ask.
Judge Liman: So a
post-discovery status
conference Nov 9 at 2
pm. We are adjourned.
Have a good afternoon.
The case is
McGill et al v. City Of New
York et al., 21-cv-8619
