It is disputed whether, “[i]n conjunction with the work performed by…Villalba on the Project, on February 20, 2016 (six days prior to the Accident),…Villalba executed a Subcontract Agreement with Ms. Linda Moore, identified on the Subcontract Agreement as the President of DTM Carpentry Corp.” (Cf., Rule 56.1 Stmt., 6, with B-Rule 56.1 Counter, 6 (disagreeing with ACIC’s 6, stating the “subcontract has not been properly authenticated by an officer of DTM”), and V-Rule 56.1 Counter, 6. (disagreeing with ACIC’s 6, asserting Villalba “never authenticated the document or its contents” and “the ‘Subcontract Agreement’ was not provided to [Villalba] until March 8, 2016, which was 10 days after the [A]ccident”).) 3. The State Action On August 8, 2017, Villalba commenced a state court action against, inter alia, DTM seeking to recover damages for the injuries he purportedly sustained in the Accident (hereafter, the “State Action”).
