Judge Sets Nov. 8 Conference on T-Mobile’s Cell Tower Dispute With N.Y. Town

U.S. Magistrate Judge Anne Shields for Eastern New York in Central Islip scheduled an in-person initial case management conference Nov. 8 at 11:30 a.m. on T-Mobile’s infrastructure complaint against the town of Oyster Bay, New York, said her signed order Wednesday (docket 2:23-cv-05339). T-Mobile’s July 13 complaint alleged Oyster Bay’s denial of T-Mobile’s application for a rear yard variance necessary to install and operate a wireless telecom facility to remedy a significant gap in wireless services was “unreasonable and unsupportable” (see 2307140001). T-Mobile also alleged the town imposed “unreasonable, excessive, and prohibitive escrow charges and application fees.”
