SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 9 – Lurline Lewy and her
husband Rudolph had a $104,000
account at JP Morgan Chase
Bank at 596 Fort Washington
Avenue in Manhattan.
Her
husband died, and Chase denied
her access to the funds. Now
after years are asking she has
sued, and Chase says it's too
late.
On June 8, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Alvin K.
Hellerstein held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Morgan
Chase pushed its argument that
it is too late.
Judge Hellerstein
remarked that a bank should be
expected to keep records.
He denied the
motion to dismiss.
On July 9, Judge
Hellerstein held another
proceeding in the case. He
said pointedly that he found
it hard to believe there are
not traces of where the money
is. He told the parties what
to do before the next
conference, which he said
should be on a Friday, "I do
it on Fridays." It is December
10, 2021 at 10 am, along with
other cases.
The case is Lewy
v. JP Morgan Chase Bank &
Co. et al., 20-cv-10048
(Hellerstein)
