SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 16 – Deirdre Manns has sued the NYS Department of Financial Services and its then-Superintendent Linda Lacewell for discrimination and retaliation.
On July 15, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Denise L. Cote held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
The plaintiff notes that Lacewell was called Andrew Cuomo's Minister of Defense (while Joseph Percoca was the Minister of Offense).
The AG's office, for the current Superintendent, on July 15 said that Manns ran unpermitted criminal justice checks.
Judge Cote inquired into the zeal of prosecution, then ordered that any amended complaint is due by August 4.
The case is Manns v. Cuomo et al., 21-cv-11154 (Cote)
