In People of the State of New York v. City Of New York, Towaki Komatsu sought reconsideration and intervention; Judge McMahon’s ruling is not included.
Towaki Komatsu and the parties, counsel, intervenors, and interested parties involved in the case could be affected, but the document does not state what effect the motion had.
What happened
People of the State of New York v. City Of New York is presented here through a filing by Towaki Komatsu, not a court ruling. The filing concerns whether he could intervene or appear as an interested party.
Komatsu asked the court to reconsider an April 28, 2021 order that, according to the filing, denied him the opportunity to intervene. He also asked to intervene immediately and to limit the case to events connected to 2020 demonstrations in New York City.
The filing does not show what Judge McMahon decided on these requests. It therefore does not establish whether the motion was granted, denied, or otherwise resolved.

What the document is

Requests made
Komatsu asks the court to reconsider an April 28, 2021 order that he says denied him the opportunity to intervene in the case or otherwise appear as an interested party. He argues that the earlier decision relied on unsupported assumptions and irrelevant matters rather than pertinent facts and law.
He also asks for an order immediately authorizing him to intervene or appear as an interested party. In addition, he asks the court to state that the consolidated case will address only matters arising during 2020 demonstrations and protests in New York City concerning the New York City Police Department, other law-enforcement entities, and government entities or personnel.

The supplied document does not contain a ruling by Judge Colleen McMahon on Komatsu’s requests. No disposition—such as granting, denying, or dismissing the motion—is stated in the provided text.
