A ‘Kvutzeh’ student has become the victim of a terror campaign perpetrated by his fellow students in a bid to evict him from his dorm room in the infamous and lawless 749 Eastern Parkway dormitory. The terror campaign against him included a series of robberies, a brutal beat down, letters containing threats and rifle ammunition left on his pillow.

Last week, Thursday, at 2:30pm, police executed an arrest warrant on Kingston Avenue, taking 22-year-old Yonah Shifren into custody on charges of assault and felony burglary. Shifren, a Los Angeles native and a resident of 749 Eastern Parkway, but not a student in Tomchei Temimim-770 (Kvutzeh), is alleged to have robbed and assaulted a fellow resident of the dormitory in an effort to intimidate him into vacating his room.

Andrew Keshner, New York Law Journal

An attorney who raised new allegations after an initial conference on his Fair Debt Collection Practices Act case has been sanctioned for not participating in the proceedings in good faith.

Eastern District Judge Brian Cogan slapped Elie Poltorak of Poltorak PC in Brooklyn with a $500 sanction in Huebner v. Midland Credit Management, 14-cv-6046, saying Poltorak was “apparently seeking to hold back his theory of the case for some later date.”
