SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 6 – Bronx resident
Virgilio Guerrero was hit and
injured by a vehicle owned by
Grenada's Mission to the
United Nations in 2018, on
42nd Street.
He sued in
state court, but the UN
Mission of Grenada removed it
to Federal court.
On January
6, U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
e Judge John G. Koeltl held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Guerrero, it
turns out, has had to have
surgury. The Grenada UN
Mission's venicle was being
driving by Tyrone Samuel.
But as
Inner City Press has reported
with regard to the UN Mission
of Nigeria delaying a similar
case in the SDNY, diplomatic
immunity or impunity is a
mind-set pervasive in and
around the UN on 42nd
Street.
This case is
being referred to mediation,
which is not public.
The case is
Guerrero v. Samuel et al.,
19-cv-6716 (Koeltl)
