SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 20 – Between the Bread and
its BTB Events &
Celebrations have been fending
off wage theft claims since
2017. On May 20 U.S. District
Court for the South District
of New York Judge Lewis J.
Liman held a proceeding. Inner
City Press covered it.
BTB's lawyer asked for more
time, citing Coronavirus.
Judge Liman replied that this
case, filed in 2017, is the
oldest one still on his
docket.
Ubiquitous Fair Labor
Standards Act lawyer C.K. Lee
of 148 West 24th Street said
COVID is no longer an excuse,
that he had conducted a
deposition earlier in the day
in Jamaica, Queens, and also
saw people jogging in Central
Park.
Judge Liman gave the
defendants a deadline to
produce discovery or an
agreement.
The case is
Hernandez v. Between the Bread
55th Inc. et al., 17-cv-9541
(Liman).
