SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 5 – Stuart Kloda was
getting ketamine injections
from Doctor Glen Z. Brooks and
NY Ketamine Infusions LCC and
died on February 2, 2017. His
Administrator and Prosequendum
Ricardo Valdes sued.
On January 6,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John G. Koeltl held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
At first a
lawyer from Florida, not
licensed in New York or
admitted to the SDNY bar,
called in. Then another, from
Poughkeepsie.
On April 5, SDNY
Magistrate Judge Katharine H.
Parker held a proceeding in
the case, which Inner City
Press again covered.
A dispute
now is about medical experts,
and their cost. The defense
expert Dr. Philip R. Muskin
charged $5000 for a deposition
that took only a few hours, it
was alleged.
Judge Parker
denied plaintiff's motion for
discover and gave it until
April 30 to contest the
expert's price in writing, in
light of a 2007 EDNY case.
The case is
Valdes et al v. Brooks et al.,
19-cv-617 (Koeltl)
