The Story So Far
The case remains active following a settlement conference on August 29, 2023, before Magistrate Judge James R. Cho. Counsel for the plaintiff and defendants Hyun Kim, Jung Kim, and the City of New York appeared.
The parties engaged in settlement talks off the record but remain far apart on terms. The court addressed a dispute over the deposition of defendant Jung Kim. The plaintiff requested and received an extension to complete that deposition.
The fact discovery deadline was extended to September 15, 2023, solely to finish Jung Kim's deposition. The parties do not plan to depose the plaintiff or conduct further discovery beyond this. A telephonic status conference is set for September 19, 2023, to assess progress.
The case has not moved beyond discovery, and no dispositive motions or trial dates have been set. The court’s limited extension signals a focus on wrapping up discovery before advancing the case.
Watch for the September status conference to see if the parties narrow their settlement positions or if the court sets a schedule for dispositive motions or trial preparation.
