SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 7 – Tina Forbes worked for
Tri-County Care LCC, a
provider of disability care
services on Long Island, New
York. She was fired, she says
because she was a pregnant
woman of color.
Also naming
Tri-County's Japhe Deliat, she
sued.
On January 7, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Ronnie Abrams held a status
conference. Inner City Press
covered it.
The plaintiff's
lawyer said he thought the
case could be settled soon
based, he said, on what the
mediator had said. Defense
counsel from Garfunkel Wild
P.C. disagreed, saying that
plaintiff's number was
unreasonable.
Then the
actual numbers were said.
For now,
Inner City Press will only
report that the defendants
understanding of plaintiff's
demand was six times higher
than what plaintiff, on the
record, said that the mediator
had suggested.
Judge
Abrams said she didn't want to
get involved in the numbers
but urged counsel to tell
clients how much discovery and
depositions who cost, and
submit a status letter in a
week.
The case is
Forbes v. Tri-County Care LLC,
21-cv-1366 (Abrams)
