SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 28 – Carlos Asencio was
struck in the face by a
Probation Officer in his
apartment at 790 Grand
Concourse on September 14,
2016. He sued.
On January
28, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Sidney H. Stein
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
At issue
was when to hold the trial. It
had been set for April 26, but
needed to be pushed back not
only due to COVID but also one
of the lawyer's upcoming
paternity leave.
Judge
Stein recounted that while a
daughter we born he had been
trying a case, and didn't want
that for anyone else. He
pushed the trial to July 12.
The case is
Asencio v. City Of New York et
al., 18-cv-97 (Stein)
