SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 19 – The Joffrey Ballet
School sued its former
director Christopher D'Addario
for in essence stealing their
websites. But D'Addario did
not show up, and a temporary
restraining order against him,
to be delivered to Network
Solution and Go Daddy was
issued.
On
September 18 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
John G. Koeltl held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Joffrey's lawyers
emphasized that they had twice
emailed the time of the
hearing to D'Addario. Judge
Koeltl said it was not ex
parte then, and asked for
argument.
It was
argued - without opposition -
that the loss of control of
the websites put many jobs at
risk; it was said the absent
D'Addario has no case.
They quoted him
replying, "Go right f*ck
yourself.. happy the bankrupt
the school in court." They
said he is demanding
$450,000.
The website
is back up, but Joffrey's
lawyers said their email is
still being "played with."
Judge Koeltl
added some handwritten notes
to the TRO and said it would
be posted on ECF.
The case is
Center for American Dance, Inc. v.
D'Addario, et al., 20-cv-7687 (Koeltl).
