SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 31 – Manuel Gervacio
Angeles worked as a cook in
180 Express Deli at 906 East
180th Street in The Bronx. But
he was not paid overtime. He
sued.
On
September 22, 2020 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Vyskocil
expressed skepticism why the
parties needed four months for
discovery.
She also asked if
and why they would need
experts.
On May 25,
Judge Vyskocil held another
conference, and Inner City
Press again covered it. She
admonished one counsel for
waiting too long to ask for
additional discovery, but
extended the time to July 9
for both sides. She referred
the case to Magistrate Judge
James L. Cott to try
settlement.
On August 31,
Judge Vyskocil held another,
final conference. After asking
counsel to actually get the
letter that had been
submitted, she dismissed the
case with prejudice, as
settled.
The case is, or
was, Gervacio Angeles et al v.
180 Express Deli Corp. et al.,
19-cv-8809 (Vyskocil)
