SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 13 – Mykalai Kontilai was
sued by the SEC for raising
millions to develop a website
for the audition of sports
memorability.
Now he is
repeatedly firing his lawyers.
Meanwhile, in the docket,
"based on Dr. Saben's
findings, will necessitate
holding Veronica Kontilai's
deposition in abeyance until
such time as her psychiatric
condition is
ameliorated."
On July 22,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Chief Magistrate Judge Gabriel
W. Gorenstein held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
Fifth Amendment was cited,
without getting much traction.
But the defendant is again
moving to fire his counsel.
Judge Gorenstein said he is
suspect.
On January 13
Judge Gorenstein held another
proceeding, and Inner City
Press again covered it. This
time, Judge Gorenstein after a
one-minute break after
arguments granted a long
outstanding SEC motion for a
protective order (the request
opposed seeking information
about the Jackie Robinson
Foundation and the Los Angeles
Dodgers, among other things),
but did grant the defendant
the right to some half-day
depositions.
The case is
United States Securities and
Exchange Commission v.
Collector's Coffee Inc. et
al., 19-cv-4355 (Schofield /
Gorenstein)
