SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 2 –  Quinn Lucas Schansman was one of the 298 people killed aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Donetsk on July 17, 2014. 

His family has sued Sberbank, VTB Bank, Western Union, Moneygram and others for facilitating the terrorist missile.  

     On October 27, 2021 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.  

 Judge Gorenstein ordered that initial disclosures should be filed by December 3, with all discovery completed by January 13, 2023 and motions due by June 30, 2023.

Jump cut to November 2022. Judge Gorenstein held another conference, and Inner City Press again covered it, amid arguments about Donbas, now alongside the wider invasion of Ukraine. Judge Gorenstein ruled, "the motion of Sberbank of Russia PJSC for a stay of non-jurisdictional discovery (Docket # 244) is granted. The motion to compel (Docket #445) is thus denied without prejudice to reinstate at any time the stay is vacated. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein on 11/2/2022)."

The case is  Schansman et al v. Sberbank of Russia PJSC et al., 19-cv-2985 (Carter / Gorenstein)
