Delay in Bid to Collect from Giuliani Must End SDNY Judge Says Ordering Apartment Delisted

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 3 – In Ruby Freeman's and Wandrea' Moss' ongoing attempt to collect from Rudy Giuliani, a proceeding was held on September 27 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis J. Liman. Inner City Press was there; thread:

Judge: Mr. Caruso, I have a beef with your Sept 26 letter...You were seeking relief the deadline in my order, but didn't disclose that

Giuliani's lawyer Caruso: I didn't see it that way Judge: Please do, see it that way

Plaintiffs' lawyer: We are asking for shares to his co-op in 7 days, and his intangible right to legal fees he said are due him from one of the Presidential campaigns in 2020 

Plaintiffs' lawyer: There also an account in Parkside Bank & Trust for Giuliani Communications LLC... The deadline is October 1 

Plaintiffs' lawyer: Mr Giuliani's disclosure of his properties in the bankruptcy proceedings... In July he declared he is a resident of Florida. But he broadcasts his location on a daily basis and he's anywhere but there 

Plaintiffs' lawyer: A person should know where they were during the previous 90 days, we don't think discovery is needed on that... We are not willing to slow down 

Plaintiffs' lawyer: His apartments come with hefty monthly maintenance charges, many of them overdue. Then there's the Homestead Act issues...

Judge: I'll hold off on consolidation. Is Mr Giuliani going to turn over, for example, the TV? Caruso: Not today. Judge: What about the Reggie Jackson picture? Can Mr Giuliani live without his World Series ring?

Caruso: I'm sure he can. But we're going to appeal, Florida Homestead law  

Caruso: Military members don't use their domicile when they deploy... Domicile is a state of mind - a question of fact. There must be discovery Judge: Respond to the motions to quash, and to enforce. Giuliani's lawyer

Caruso: Can I have 3 more days?

Judge: No. Judge: Your client owes money. This should move quickly. Adjourned

And on October 3, "Giuliani is ordered to delist the New York Apartment with the restraint imposed by this Order to expire (with the possibility of renewal) on October 17, 2024. After October 17, 2024, notwithstanding any expiration of the Order reflected in this paragraph, Giuliani shall continue to be restrained from interfering with the New York Apartment by virtue of the Section 5222(b) restraining notice. Defendant shall file proof on the docket no later than October 4, 2024, that the New York Apartment has been delisted and is no longer being offered for sale. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lewis J. Liman on 10/3/2024)
