SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 22 – Deanna Reiss
is a sports lawyer who on an
Amtrak train forgot to get off
at Penn Station and rode to
Sunnyside Yards in Queens
where, she says, she was
ejected from her seat and
injured. Amtrak says she was
asleep.
On September 22 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Denise L. Cote held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Opposing counsel
were friendly and, it seemed,
unprepared. What is the age of
the client? Is there evidence
of ejecting from the seat? How
did she leave Sunnyside Yards?
None of it was
clear. Either a motion for
summary judgment (despite the
seeming disputes of fact) or a
joint Pretrial Order is due by
January 12, 2022.
The case is Reiss
v. National Railroad Passenger
Corporation, 19-cv-1780
(Cote)
