SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 15 – Walter Ware sued
officials of the NYC
Department of Corrections
about his conditions of
detention on Rikers
Island.
On December 15, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Robert W.
Lehrburger held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered it.
The
city's lawyer said that Ware
did not consent to trial
before the Magistrate.
Ware to his
credit asked what this meant.
Judge Lehrburger said it takes
two to agree; he acknowledged
that the meet and confer
process was more difficult to
incarcerated, pro se
litigants.
The trial, the
two sides say, would take 21
days.
The case is
Ware v. Brann et al,
21-cv-2028 (Gardephe /
Lehrburger)
