SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 27 – The New York Taxi Workers Alliance has challenged the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission's policy of summarily suspending the taxi license of any driver who is arrested on a felony or any of 18 misdemeanor charges, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
On July 10 Judge Richard J. Sullivan, sitting by designation back in the SDNY where he previously addresses this issue in Nnebe v. Daus, 06-cv-4991, held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
The drivers are moving for class certification and want Judge Sullivan to appoint a master pursuant to FRCP 53.
The City says it provides prompt post-suspension hearings. But is that due process?
The case is Stallworth et al v. Joshi et al., 17-cv-7119 (Sullivan)
