Juan M. Vazquez, Dana Roth, and the City of New York.
What happened
In Vazquez v. City of New York, Juan M. Vazquez objected to a magistrate judge’s report. The report was mailed to him on June 21, 2022, making his objections due July 8, but the court received them on July 12.
Vazquez said he did not receive the report until June 28. Because he is representing himself and is incarcerated, the court said it intends to consider his late objections.
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer gave Dana Roth and the City of New York until August 1, 2022, to respond if they choose. The clerk was also directed to mail Vazquez a copy of the order.
