Fireman Arrested As NYPD Blocked Hydrant Sued, Defendants Move for Summary Judgment

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

SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 16 – James Savarese was a New York City fireman for three decades in the Rockaways.

On July 1, 2015 he was driving on Beach 129th Street and he noticed an NYPD car parked in front of a fire hydrant. Ultimately Savares was arrested and put through the system. He sued.  

On November 12 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis J. Liman held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

 One of the co-defendants, now retired NYPD Traffic Supervisor Deborah Youmans, is now unrepresented.

There was an application to file an affidavit under seal about her, as well as reference to a parallel proceeding in the EDNY.

On June 16, 2021, Judge Liman held another proceeding, and Inner City Press again covered it. The NYC Law Department had moved to withdraw from representing Debra Youmans and filed its sealed affidavit about it. The defendants have moved for summary judgment.

This case is Savarese v. City of New York et al., 18-cv-5956 (Liman)
