SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 31 – Z Live was running a
nightclub at 605 West 48th
Street when a fire in a next
door parking lot, alleged
caused by people in a homeless
encampment started a fire to
warm themselves on November
27, 2017.
They, or
now their insurer Scottsdale
Insurance Company, sued Lexus
of Manhattan and a realty firm
. On
August 31 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Magistrate Judge
Sarah Netburn held a discovery
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
There
seemed to be little discovery
left to do, and little need
for experts.
Reference
was made to a deposition of
the Fire Marshall, and
subpoena to Google for YouTube
videos of the homeless
encampment.
Talk
turned Nixonian: What did they
know and when did they know
it? When indeed.
The case is
Scottsdale Insurance Company
v. 677 Eleventh Avenue Realty,
LLC et al., 19-cv-11688
(Netburn)
