SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 1 – Christina Charles of 1317 Boston Road in The Bronx slipped and fell in the Family Dollar store at 1345 Boston Road and sued. Family Dollar removed the case to Federal court.     

               On April 29, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

  Judge Koeltl denied Family Dollar's motion for summary judgment and directed the plaintiff to make a demand by May 4.

Next up is a joint pre-trial order by May 20, with the parties to be ready on 48 hours notice for a trial starting June 17.

The case is Charles v. Family Dollar, 20-cv-8784 (Koeltl)
