SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 18 – Arnaldur Schram
filed a U.S. Federal lawsuit
for "the return of his
six-year-old daughter E.Z. and
his two-year-old son S.Z. were
who, without [his] consent or
acquiescence, wrongly retained
from Iceland to New York by
their mother, Tania
Zarak."
On
August 18, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Mary Kay
Vyskocil held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Judge Vyskocil
said, given the stakes, she
would expedite things, around
the constraints of being Part
1 emergency judge. She ordered
the mother to give the
children's passports to her
lawyer.
Although
she has no jurisdiction over
the third child in the family,
now in Iceland, she asked the
father to tell his lawyer if
he intended to move at all.
Name(s) were
said, but Inner City Press is
sticking with the children's
initials. The case will be
heard in October.
It is Schram v.
Zarak, 21-cv-6524 (Vyskocil)
