COURTHOUSE,
May 27 – Daughters of Malcolm
X on November 15 sued the US
and the estates of FBI, NYPD
and other agencies for their
alleged roles in his
assassination. The lawsuit was
filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York, which
Inner City Press closely
covers.
The
complaint states that "as a
direct result of the
Defendants’ intentional, bad
faith, willful, wanton,
reckless, unreasonable and/or
deliberately indifferent acts
and omissions, Malcolm X was
deprived of his federal
constitutional rights, was
robbed of his life and
freedom, and sustained severe
physical, emotional, and
monetary damages, including
conscious physical pain and
suffering."
On May 27 Judge
Dale E. Ho ordered: the
deadline for service on the
Individual Defendants is
STAYED pending resolution of
the service and jurisdictional
issues raised in the parties'
letters (ECF Nos. 97-103). The
two pending subpoenas relating
to service on the Individual
Defendants are also STAYED.
The parties may otherwise
continue to proceed with
limited voluntary discovery.
As further discussed at the
conference, the United States
shall file its motion to
dismiss by July 18, 2025.
Plaintiffs shall file their
opposition by August 22, 2025,
and may take an additional 10
pages to address the issues
discussed at today's
conference regarding the
Individual Defendants. The
United States shall file any
reply by September 5, 2025.
Also by September 5, 2025, the
City of New York may submit a
reply, not to exceed 10 pages,
to address Plaintiffs'
arguments regarding the
Individual Defendants. SO
ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Dale
E. Ho on 5/27/2025)
The case
is Shabazz, et al., v. The
United State of America, et
al., 1:24-cv-8680 (Ho)
