SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 5, 2021, updated May 12,
2023 – Keith Fishberg sued
State Farm for not paying on
an insurance policy for water
damage to his apartment on
East 15th Street in Manhattan.
Then his lawyer
wanted out.
On April 5,
2021 U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Lewis J. Liman held
a proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Fishberg's
counsel said there are
irreconcilable difference
regarding the strategy for
pursuing the action.
Judge Liman
granted the motion to
withdrawn, and a 60 day stay.
Subsequently, without
any of the terms being entered
into the docket, the case was
settled and dismissed. Then,
no less than four time,
Fishman wrote to Inner City
Press claiming the above
factual report of the proceeding
and case defamed him. It did
not, and does not. We've
looked back over the docket,
and find delay that his own
counsel blamed on him, at 131
East 15th Street, Apt 4B,
subject of the August 2019
flood due to a roof leak.
But here's a
sample letter: "I am writing
to you again, to TIMELY
request that you please remove
my name and references from
your publication list as
indicated in the defaming
article... The article you
have created is not only
one-sided & defamatory."
No, reporting on courts is not
defamatory. We will continue.
The case is
Fishberg v. State Farm Fire
and Casualty Company,
20-cv-6664 (Liman)
