COURTHOUSE,
Oct 18 – A Bronx plumber who
states he was stomped by NYPD
officers after they found a
plumber's blade in a tool bag
in his house has sued the City
of New York and five John and
Jane Doe police
officers.
On October
18, plaintiff's and the City's
lawyers appeared before new
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Henry J.
Ricardo. Inner City Press
covered the case, seemingly
among Judge Ricardo's
first.
The
plaintiff's lawyer asked to be
exempted from the Local Rule
83.10 Plan, which he said
makes such cases move to
slowly. He implored Judge
Ricardo that "minority judges"
here often ignore the plan,
and that the EDNY no longer
uses it.
Judge Ricardo reminded that
this is the SDNY, and denied
the motion without prejudice
to it being renewed by October
30.
The
City's lawyer let slip that
the police visit was "DV" -
domestic violence. Her answer
annex NYPD records to that
effect.
Plaintiff's counsel concluded
with "Welcome to the bench,"
adding, of the SDNY.
The
case is Robinson v. City of
New York, et al., 1:24-cv-3282
(Ho / Ricardo)
