SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 5 – Felipe F. Vivar sued
the NYPD and New York
Presbyterian Hospital alleging
mistreatment as a gay disabled
male, the theft of money and
physical abuse.
Now the case
appears poised for settlement
- for
$3000.
On May 5, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Vernon S. Broderick held
a proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
hospital defendant said it
would pay, but only in
exchange for a commitment not
to publicize.
Judge
Broderick patiently explained
the proposal to Vivar, who
then asked, So we're going to
mediation? No, this was
mediation, or felt like
it.
The
defendants said they will sent
settlement papers to Vivar and
Judge Broderick, and will
reconvene on May 25.
The case is Vivar
v. NYC Police Department et
al., 18-cv-5987 (Broderick)
