SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 22 – Richard
Sheerin was working the City
Island Bridge in the Bronx on
July 16, 2015 when he slipped
on a discarded grease gun tube
and was injured.
He sued,
but defendant Tutor Perini
Building Corp. removed the
case to the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York.
On May 27,
SDNY Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave held a conference in the
case, and Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Cave
asked how many depositions -
four or five - then scheduled
a settlement conference for
September.
Discussion
devolved into COVID-19's
pressure on the summer rental
market, and the increase in
orders for above-ground pools
that could be removed after
this cursed summer.
On
November 2, after the summer
such as it was, Judge Cave
held another conference in the
case. Imperial Ironworks,
brought in, has allegedly not
produced the policies at
issue.
Tutor Perini has demanded the
withholding of evidence and
direct that Imperial [sic]
counsel immediately provide
the policies."
Now on December
22, Judge Cave held another
conference, and Inner City
Press again covered it. Judge
Cave began by saying she
thought the case was being
resolved. It turns out Starr's
Claims Department "needs to
review Plaintiff's independent
medical examination report."
There followed a stand-off
whether all sides will waive
deposition of medical experts
and economists. If even one
does not agree, none will
waive. And so it goes in the
SDNY.
The case is
Sheerin v. Tutor Perini
Corporation et al.,18-cv-7952
(Carter / Cave).
