Feb. 22 Status Conference Set in Verizon’s Tower Dispute With N.Y. Town

U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel Stewart for Northern New York in Albany set an in-person status conference for Feb. 22 at 11 a.m. EST in Verizon’s cell tower dispute with the town of Saugerties, New York, said a text-only entry Wednesday in docket 1:22-cv-107. Verizon and co-plaintiff Tarpon Towers allege the town’s refusal to act on Verizon’s May 2019 tower application violates the Telecommunications Act by failing to render a decision within a reasonable period of time, preventing Verizon from providing service where known service gaps and network deficiencies “indisputably exist.”
