Turkish Airlines Is Sued In SDNY But Backlog So Magistrate March 18 Then May FPTC

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

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 26 – Fozia Rasool slipped and fell in the aisle of a Turkish Airlines plane on a flight from Saudi Arabia to the US via Istanbul. She sued.  

   On January 8, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Paul A. Engelmayer held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

There was a push for a jury trials. Judge Engelmayer reminded that by order, there are no in person trials in the SDNY until at earliest February 12.

Then, criminal trials particularly for those detained take priority. He mentioned SDNY Magistrate Judge Kevin N. Fox, or a bench trial. 

  Judge Engelmayer extended fact discovery to January 29 and referred the case for a settlement conference before Judge Fox.

He set another status conference for February 26.

And on that date, Inner City Press again covered it. The lawyers continued to say how well they get along - but the case hasn't settled. There was talk of rank smelling water from the plane's bathroom. There will be an attempt before Magistrate Judge Fox on March 18. If unsuccessful, motions in limine are due April 19, with a final pre-trial conference set for May 5.

The case is Rasool v. Turkish Airlines, Inc., 19-cv-9474 (Engelmayer)
