SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 19 – Prentice Cox, in a
wheelchair, sued Bakers Pizza
for lack of accessibility
under the ADA. Then the owner
of Bakers Pizza was confined
to a mental
institution.
On January
14, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge John P. Cronan held
a proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
question was whether Cox has
shown that the new owners of
Bakers Pizza, though related
to the former owner, are in
fact alter egos.
Judge
Cronan urged the parties to
talk and reach some agreement,
so that motions to dismiss
individual defendants or
substitute parties would not
be litigated.
On April 19 Judge
Cronan held another
proceeding, and Inner City
Press again covered it. The
check in to mental ward, or
lock down facility, was again
cited. Judge Cronan said he
had sympathy, but what now
with the case?
The case is Cox
v. Bakers Pizza HK LLC et al.,
19-cv-8590 (Cronan)
