SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 11 – Google has been
sued by Googles, a platform
formed in the mid-1990s for
children's content.
On December
3 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Stewart D. Aaron
held a discovery dispute
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Google and Alphabet want to
block certain requested
depositions. They prevailed
and blocked as to Susan
Wojcicki, Terri Chin and
Andrew Abrams.
But Adam
Berea will be deposed - as
will one of these three: Malik
Ducard, Ruchi Bezoles or Pavni
Diwanji.
Third
party deponent Timothy Alger
will be limited to three
hours. Held in abeyance,
for now, is Ramsey
AL-Salam.
Judge Aaron
again said, lawyers in the
SDNY are officers of the court
and he relies on their
truthfulness.
On February
5, Judge Aaron held another
proceeding. Inner City Press
again covered it. Judge Aaron
made detailed inquiries and
ruled that Google may solicit
testimony regarding
Plaintiff's theory or theories
of damages.
On March
10 Google filed a motion "to
set aside or modify Magistrate
Judge Aaron's Feb 23 Order."
While that document is still
only for "selected parties," a
conference was held on March
11 and Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Aaron spoke
about the history of
Magistrates, and noted that
following the COVID backlog,
District Judges like Lorna G.
Schofield in this case will be
very busy with criminal
matters. He urged that issues
and motions be raised all at
once so he can rule,
particularly on the
applicability of the Ambac
decision. Inner City Press
will continue to follow this
case.
The case is SM
Kids, LLC v. Google LLC et
al., 18-cv-2637 (Schofield /
Aaron)
