SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 5 – Jaime H. Ortega
of Staten Island had a slip
and fall at the Target store
at 2873 Richmond Avenue there
on August 11, 2017. He sued,
in New York State court in
Manhattan. It was removed to
Federal court.
On October
5 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer held
a proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Engelmayer
asked, Why is this case in the
SDNY? If the plaintiff is from
Staten Island, and the store
is there too?
The
plaintiff's counsel explained
that Target designed Manhattan
as the county in which to sue
it. Open and shut.
Judge
Engelmayer said depositions
are due by December 18, with
another case management
conference on March 2, 2021.
The case is
Ortega et al v. Target
Corporation et al., 20-cv-4130
(Engelmayer)
