NYC Hospital Radiologist Cited Religious Hatred Now Lawyer Resists Trial in Mask

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 4 – The most senior radiologist at Metropolitan Hospital in East Harlem has a long pending lawsuit charging that Physician Affiliate Group of New York P.C.'s Hussain Marati "openly expressed his disdain and hatred of Jews."  

 On December 16, 2020 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Valerie E. Caproni held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

 Judge Caproni described how the jury trial, scheduled for January 26, would work: the plexiglass boxes and air filters, the precautions Inner City Press has described this month for example on a habeus corpus proceeding before SDNY Judge Gregory Woods, here.

 But one of the lawyers, saying he spoke for them all, said it was crazy to do a jury trial now.

He said he couldn't travel to Florida, that he has only taken one Uber since the pandemic hit.

 If a juror got COVID it would cause a restart and cost more money. The case was filed in 2017. 

 Judge Caproni agreed to postpone the trial without choosing a new date.

On June 4, Judge Caproni held another proceeding in the case, and Inner City Press again covered it. Now Judge Caproni was suggesting an August 9 trial date. But the response was that a trial should wait until masks no longer required.

Judge Caproni said that might be the case, for trial participants at least, by the suggested trial date.

The case is Kerr v. Physician Affiliate Group of New York P.C. et al., 17-cv-1777 (Caproni)
