SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 4 – The most senior
radiologist at Metropolitan
Hospital in East Harlem has a
long pending lawsuit charging
that Physician Affiliate Group
of New York P.C.'s Hussain
Marati "openly expressed his
disdain and hatred of
Jews."
On December
16, 2020 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Valerie E.
Caproni held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered it.
Judge
Caproni described how the jury
trial, scheduled for January
26, would work: the plexiglass
boxes and air filters, the
precautions Inner City Press
has described this month for
example on a habeus corpus
proceeding before SDNY Judge
Gregory Woods, here.
But one of
the lawyers, saying he spoke
for them all, said it was
crazy to do a jury trial now.
He said he
couldn't travel to Florida,
that he has only taken one
Uber since the pandemic hit.
If a juror
got COVID it would cause a
restart and cost more money.
The case was filed in
2017.
Judge
Caproni agreed to postpone the
trial without choosing a new
date.
On June 4, Judge
Caproni held another
proceeding in the case, and
Inner City Press again covered
it. Now Judge Caproni was
suggesting an August 9 trial
date. But the response was
that a trial should wait until
masks no longer required.
Judge Caproni
said that might be the case,
for trial participants at
least, by the suggested trial
date.
The case is Kerr
v. Physician Affiliate Group
of New York P.C. et al.,
17-cv-1777 (Caproni)
