SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 21 – Seaport House,
a restaurant at 229 Front
Street in the South Street
Seaport in lower Manhattan,
sued NYS Governor Cuomo and
NYC Mayor de Blasio for
shutting down indoor
dining.
On January
6 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul A. Crotty held an
oral argument on the
restaurant's application for a
Temporary Restraining Order.
Inner City Press covered
it.
The
complaint contained a photo of
the front page of the New York
Post of December 12, with a
green faced Cuomo in a Santa
hat, "Cuomo the Grinch who
stole Christmas as he bans
indoor dining
(again)."
The lawyer for
Governor Cuomo cited a 1903
case; Seaport House responded
that restaurants weren't
closed during the Spanish Flu
pandemic of 1917.
Judge Crotty
denied the TRO but set up a
briefing schedule, including
some discovery.
In a
January 21 proceeding Inner
City Press also covered, Judge
Crotty ruled that the
plaintiffs can depose NYS
Heath Department director of
epidemiology Doctor Debra S.
Blog, for three hours.
The case is d/b/a
Seaport House (Hopkins Hawley
LLC) et al. v. Cuomo et al.,
20-cv-10932 (Crotty)
