SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 3 –
Wilson
Galarza, a man
diagnosed with
bi-polar and
post-traumatic
stress
disorders, had
the police
called on him
on March 12,
2017 in his
apartment at
1635 East
174th Street
in The Bronx.
In a short
period of
time, he was
hit with a
taser, and
shot in the
eye. He sued.
On November
28, 2022, U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York
Magistrate
Judge
Katharine H.
Parker held a
proceeding.
Inner City
Press covered
it.
There was talk
of Monnell and
of
bifurcation.
Plaintiff's
counsel said
he did not
favor a trial
against the
individual
officers
happening
before and
separate from
a trial
against the
City. A jury
might in the
first instance
think the City
was more to
blame, then
the opposite
in the second
trial.
Judge
Parker ordered
that
Plaintiff's
expert report
on the extend
of eye damage
is due by
January 18.
The next
conference is
set for
January 26 at
2:30 pm.
The
case is
Galarza v.
City of New
York et al.,
19-cv-10898
(Kaplan /
Parker)
