SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 11 – Ryan Jhagroo says
he was viciously attacked by
other inmate on June 7, 2015
in front of two Corrections
Officers on Riker's Island. In
2016, he filed a hand-written
pro se
lawsuit.
On April
9, U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Mark Kay Vyskocil held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Jhagroo had
written a hand-written letter,
asking for one final
settlement conference.
Now he has gotten
pro bono representation from
Arnold & Porter. Judge
Vyskocil noted that he had
written seeking to change
lawyers. He said he
would stick with them.
The final
pre-trial conference is set
for June 8.
The case is
Jhagroo v. Brown, et al.,
16-cv-3426 (Vyskocil)
