SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 4 –
Shamark Williams sued the City
of New York after he was
assaulted by police in the SRO
he lived in, at 530 West 78th
Street, Apartment 5J, while he
cooked a veggie burger and
rice.
On April 4, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Judge Colleen McMahon held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Williams
had a lawyer, but now doesn't.
Judge McMahon noted that
happens sometimes when such a
case in not settled in
mediation.
She told Williams
he must now prepare to
litigate, if necessary on his
own. He said he will. The case
was referred to Magistrate
Judge Stuart D. Aaron.
The case is
Williams v. Vaccaro, et al.,
19-cv-3548
(McMahon)
