SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 22 – Plaintiff Andrew
Vail was in New York City
custody when he asked for
psychiatric help. According to
his Federal complaint, NYC
waited more than 48 hours
during which, suffering from
PICA, he ingested 2 AA
batteries and components of a
SONY radio.
He sued.
On June 22, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Robert W.
Lehrburger held a proceeding,
which Inner City Press
covered. But plaintiff Vail
was not present.
Magistrate Judge
Lehrburger advised the City
when it could move to end the
case.
He issued an
order to that effect: "If the
Court does not receive a
response by July 20,
Defendants may file a motion
to dismiss for failure to
prosecute."
Vail is in
Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
The case is
Vail v. The City of New York
et al., 18-cv-9169 (Oetken /
Lehrburger).
