SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 30 – Pauline Leung slips
and fell in a Starbucks at 605
Third Avenue on August 5,
2018. She sued the company -
and seeks to depose
employees.
On January 28, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Ronnie Abrams held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
One
of the employees asked, about
being deposed, if he needed a
lawyer or could invoke his
Fifth Amendment rights.
Judge Abrams told
him about NYLAG, and afterward
he agreed to be deposed by
Zoom on February 3. Another
employeee will be deposed
three hours later.
But a third
employee, Jofran Mendoza, has
found by Judge Abrams to be in
civil contempt. Now what?
The case is Leung
v. Starbucks Corporation et
al., 20-cv-7440 (Abrams)
