SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 24 –
Henna
Shim-Larkin was to work for
the NYS Parks Department, at
the Tompkins Square Mini Pool
on East 10th Street, after
being in the lifeguard
training program and passing
the final
test. But on
the day she was to report, she
had a doctor's appointment.
Next, she had an appointment
with Immigration. Harassment
followed, and she left a
voicemail she could not
continue to work, feeling
unsafe. She sued.
On November
24 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Kevin
Nathaniel Fox held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Now more
the four years into the
litigation, Ms. Shim-Larkin
has put in to testify,
herself, as an expert witness.
The City said it
is untimely. After Judge Fox
so ruled, Ms. Shim-Larkin said
she wanted to respond. Judge
Fox to his credit did listen.
The case is
Shim-Larkin v. City of New
York, 16-cv-6099 (Nathan /
Fox)
