SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 3 –    Levar T. Henry sued NYPD and City for abuse, including sexual abuse.                

      On November 3 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl held a final pre-trial conference. Inner City Press covered it. 

  On motions on limine, Judge Koeltl ruled for example that plaintiff cannot refer to his Paul Weiss lawyers as pro bono, as it might impact the jury's thinking about the merits of his case.

He described jury selection and trial practice in the time of COVID.

The case is  Henry v. The City of New York et al., 17-cv-3450 (Koeltl)
