SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 16 – La'Shaun Clark has
sued NYCHA and others for
exposure to asbestos while
living in 1100 Teller Avenue
in The
Bronx.
On
August 16, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Chief Magistrate
Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein
held a discovery proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Judge
Gorenstein said, for purpose
of medical releases, Ms. Clark
can fill out only the last
four digits of her social
security number.
He said of seven
hours of depositions, the
defendants could get an hour
for cross examination. But
they spoke up and wanted
more.
Ms. Clark
said court reporters said they
would charge her $825 for two
hours. Judge Gorenstein
suggested it might take more
than one day, but capped the
costs and said the defendants
should pay the overage.
The case is Clark
v. New York City Housing
Authority et al., 20-cv-251
(Engelmayer / Gorenstein)
