SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 2 – Richard Sheerin
was working the City Island
Bridge in the Bronx on July
16, 2015 when he slipped on a
discarded grease gun tube and
was injured.
He sued,
but defendant Tutor Perini
Building Corp. removed the
case to the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York.
On May 27,
SDNY Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave held a conference in the
case, and Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Cave
asked how many depositions -
four or five - then scheduled
a settlement conference for
September.
Discussion
devolved into COVID-19's
pressure on the summer rental
market, and the increase in
orders for above-ground pools
that could be removed after
this cursed summer.
Now on
November 2, after the summer
such as it was, Judge Cave
held another conference in the
case. Imperial Ironworks,
brought in, has allegedly not
produced the policies at
issue.
Tutor Perini has demanded the
withholding of evidence and
direct that Imperial [sic]
counsel immediately provide
the policies." Another
conference has been set for
November 20.
The case is
Sheerin v. Tutor Perini
Corporation et al.,18-cv-7952
(Carter / Cave).
