to White Plains by SDNY Judge
Koeltl John Doe Case Still
Secret

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 28 – Anthony Bruno was a
sale manager at Macy's in
Yonkers when on September 17,
2017 the escalator in Macy's
stopped abruptly. Bruno fell
forward and was injured.
More than
two years later the case
arrived in the
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of New
York courtroom
of Judge
John G. Koeltl, with
only Inner
City Press in
the gallery.
Bruno's lawyer
seemed unclear
on where his
client had
been living at
the time.
Judge
Koeltl as he
often does
asked why the
case was here
in Foley
Square and
not, say, in
White Plains.
Bruno's lawyer
Richard
DePonto of B&M
Law said his
office in
White Plains, he
would not object.
The lawyer for
the defendant
Schindler
Elevator Corporation, from
Connell Foley
someone
affiliated
with Judge Koeltl
said he knows,
said it would
be fine to move the
case.
She indicated that
the stopping of
the escalator,
far from a
malfunction,
was what was
supposed to
happen when a
plate was
pushed indicating
someone might
be pulled
through.
Judge
Koeltl reviewed the case
management plan but said he
would look into move in the
case to White Plains. There is
a now long ago (August 7) criminal
presentment from which he
ordered Inner City Press out
which has yet, to our
knowledge, to be disclosed.
Inner
City Press will continue to
cover this and other SDNY and
2nd Circuit cases - watch this
