SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 12 –
Sebastian Leon
filed a putative class action
against a six-store bagel
company (including Zucker's
Grand Central and Murray's
Bagels at 242 8th Avenue) in
January 2020.
That was
after COVID-19 was spreading
in China, but before it
reached significantly reached
New York.
On May 12
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Jesse M. Furman held a
conference in the case. He
said he'd handled many cases
filed by plaintiffs' lawyer
C.K. Lee and asked why this
conference had even been
needed.
It emerged
that the six-store group has
laid off 70 of 200 employees,
even while take-out and
delivery has been allowed.
(Still the business has not
closed, like the ADA case
against a Cafe on Orchard
Street Inner City Press
covered on May 11).
This bagel case was pushed
back, way back. Discovery will
run through March 31, 2021,
with or without virtual
depositions, with the
pre-trial conference on April
6, 2021.
The case is
Leon v. Zucker's Bagels Grand
Central, LLC et al., 20-cv-713
(Furman).
