SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 15 – Gavin Finders sued
Bobby Khorrami and his
now-shuttered Adella
Restaurant at 410 West 43rd
Street and its BK 17 entity
for breaching their duties to
investors in the
restaurant.
On
March 29, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Magistrate Judge
Robert W. Lehrburger held a
discovery hearing. Inner City
Press covered it.
The defense said
they can't produce bank
records because they are
locked up in the restaurant
and ordering them from the
bank would cost five dollars a
page.
As to why
the restaurant is shuttered,
the answer was non-payment of
rent.
It was said
Khorrami when BK19 was hit for
back taxes shifted the
business into a similarly
named company not subject to
liens.
On June 15, Judge
Lehrburger held another
proceeding and Inner City
Press again covered it.
Khorrami has not been
complying with discovery, and
has yet to be his bankruptcy
in the docket. As a sanction,
Judge Lehrburger ordered the
payment of plaintiff's
attorney's costs in filing the
letter requesting the
conference and appearing at
it.
On January 18,
2022 Judge Lehrburger held
another conference, and Inner
City Press again covered it.
Judge Lehrburger ordered that
defendants much comply with
Plaintiff's discovery demands
by February 8.
The case is
Finders et al v. BK 19 Inc. et
al., 19-cv-11802 (Carter /
Lehrburger)
