SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 9 – Marcus Gilliam was managing a Shake Shack in Lower Manhattan on June 15, 2020 when he was accused of poisoning three NYPD officers - he says it was false and malicious, and he has sued.        

      On April 8, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Ronnie Abrams held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.  

  Judge Abrams asked if there had been attempts to settle. The answer concerned a mere ten minute session, described as the shortest ever.

But they'd be willing to try it again.

For now, amended pleadings are due April 25, and depositions by September 26. There's to be a next status conference on October 7.

The case is Gilliam v. Lynch et al., 21-cv-5263 (Abrams)
