SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 12 – The case of Alexandra
Canosa against Harvey
Weinstein for sexual assaults
has stalled, with depositions
including of Weinstein himself
put off until thirty days
after the end of the New York
State criminal trial of
Weinstein.
On December 12 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Paul A. Engelmayer asked the
lawyers for Weinstein and
separately for the Weinstein
Companies about the criminal
case, and about the bankruptcy
proceeding and rumored "global
settlement" of sexual claims
against Weinstein.
Karen Bitar for the Weinstein
Companies relayed that the
state criminal trial is set to
begin on January 6, despite
Weinstein unveiling a back
injury he says is from a car
accident during the
summer.
Canosa's lawyer
Thomas Guiffra expressed doubt
about the back injury; Judge
Engelmayer said that matter is
certainly not before
him.
But he asked
about the global settlement,
saying he'd read about it in
the newspaper and asking to be
kept informed, including of
any confidential developments
-- which will be redacted as
to the public.
Weinstein's own lawyer Philip
Byler said he has heard of
"investigations in two
different countries and
another jurisdiction." The
difference between a country
and a jurisdiction remains to
be seen.
Byler asked Judge Engelmayer
if he would be memorializing
all the dates, for depositions
and the like, in a minute
order. Judge Engelmayer told
him he is responsible for what
is said in open court. The
case is Canosa v.
Weinstein et al.,
18-cv-04115 (Engelmayer).
