SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 8 – Liberty Mutual Fire
Insurance Company sued
JDS Construction Group about a
Commercial General Liability
insurance policy regarding the
project at 105-111 West 57th
Street, claiming diversity for
Federal court
jurisdiction.
On June 8, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Jesse M. Furman
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Diversity is now in doubt.
A member of
defendant 111 West 57th
Property Owner LLC is thought
to be a citizen of
Massachusetts, where Liberty
Mutual has its principal place
of business.
Judge
Furman asked for a joint
status letter on the topic by
June 25, and proposal for next
steps.
On July 8, Judge
Furman held another conference
in the case, and Inner City
Press again covered it. This
time he ordered defendants to
produce particularized
evidence concerning the
citizenship of 111 West 57th
Property Owner LLC, pursuant
to a confidentiality agreement
to be so ordered.
The case is
Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance
Company v. JDS Construction
Group LLC et al., 21-cv-1931
(Furman)
