SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 17 – Chandra Barrett
was driving on the Cross Bronx
Expressway on May 2, 2018 when
the door of a landscaping
truck for Aspen Landscaping
Contracting Inc. came up and
hit her windshield. She was
injured, and
sued.
On August 17, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The defendant
insisted that a settlement was
already reached, and on the
record put the settlement
amount at $150,000.
The (new)
plaintiff's lawyer said his
client didn't want to settle,
and scoffed at the
representation that the
defendant had agreed to pay
what it said had been the
demand amount.
Judge Woods
directed both parties to case
law on this type of alleged
settlement interruptus, and
called it a threshhold issue
to be resolved before anything
else.
The case is
Barrett v. Rosario et al.,
19-cv-7815 (Woods)
