SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 17 –
Paul Shargani
sued the New
York City
Department Of
Environmental
Protection for
discriminating
against him as
an Iranian
employee.
On
February 3,
2023 U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York
Judge Alvin K.
Hellerstein
held a
proceeding.
Inner City
Press covered
it.
DEP had
complained
that Shargani
was not
complying with
its discovery
requests. In
the proceeding
explanations
were given and
accepted.
And
after the
conference an
order went
into the
docket denying
DEC's motion
as procedurally
defective for
not have
attached a
copy of
the discovery
request.
On
March 17,
2023, Judge
Hellerstein
held another
proceeding in
the case.
Inner City
Press again
covered it.
Now DEP was
complaining
about Shargani
not complying
with
discovery.
Shargani
replied, What
does how
many kids he
has had have to do with the
case? Judge
Hellerstein
said the
discovery must
be complied
with and
completed before
the case can
move forward.
The
next
proceeding is
set for June 2,
2023 at 10 am.
Inner City
Press called
in at that
time, and so
did Shargani.
But after two
proceedings,
the multi-case
conference was
ended.
Shargani
remained on
that line
saying "Hello?
Hello?"
Finally a New
York
City Law
Department lawyer
told him she
would call
Chambers. But
she never got
back on;
Shargani
remained on, asking,
Do I hang up
now?
Judge
Hellerstein's
multi-case
Fridays are
always
interesting
and this case
is sure to resurface
on a coming
Friday.
The
case is
Shargani v.
New York City
Department of
Environmental
Protection et
al., 21-cv-337
