SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 8 – Lurline Lewy and her husband Rudolph had a $104,000 account at JP Morgan Chase Bank at 596 Fort Washington Avenue in Manhattan. 

  Her husband died, and Chase denied her access to the funds. Now after years are asking she has sued, and Chase says it's too late. 

      On June 8, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

  Morgan Chase pushed its argument that it is too late.

Judge Hellerstein remarked that a bank should be expected to keep records.

He denied the motion to dismiss and said a new scheduling order will issue.

The case is Lewy v. JP Morgan Chase Bank & Co. et al., 20-cv-10048 (Hellerstein)
