SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 8 – Sakia Fletcher's
lawsuit for being suspendec
from Medgar Evers College
after criticizing City Council
member Laurie Cumbo is headed
to a settlement conference on
January 25, 2021, it was
discussed on
Tuesday.
On December
8 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Valerie E. Caproni held
an initial pre-trial
conference in the case. Inner
City Press covered
it.
While some copies
of the video of the shouting
at the April 19, 2019
Community Board 9 meeting in
Brooklyn are now off-line,
here is one still up, here.
“This is
why we fail as a people,”
Cumbo tells Fletcher. “You say
one thing, but another time
when you’re passing these
proposals … it’s against the
community,” Fletcher
answers.
On December
8, Judge Caproni decided to
hold off filing the case
management plan until after
the settlement conference, to
be held by SDNY Magistrate
Judge Stewart D. Aaron.
She extended the
time for Rudy Crew to answer
Alexis McLean's cross-claim
until February 8.
The case is
Fletcher v. Medgar Evers
College et al., 20-cv-4163
(Caproni)
