SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 13 – Ousmane Bah said he
was falsely accused of theft
by Apple, and sued. Apple is
trying to hide information
after the fact; its
co-defendant on October 13
moved to dismiss, below.
On September 21,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge P. Kevin Castel held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
In a
lengthy discovery conference,
Judge Castel expressed
frustration that the parties
had not resolved some of the
issues among themselves.
Apple through
Morrison & Foerster's
Carrie Cohen and Katie
Viggiani was pushing to get a
filed exhibit sealed after the
fact. But it is already public
and says, in part:
"Walks over to

Immediate Action
No police were called at the
time of incident. Informed
store management and Security
guard on duty. Footage of
incident has been pulled and
is available when requested.
Apple Confidential. Do not
distribute."
Now on
October 13 the defendants have
gone further, filing a report
by Steven Yhap of Security
Industry Specialists, Inc.
that "the shoplifter... was
searched for weapons... and
was banned from entering all
Apple property... A hit from
GSOC came back to that name
out of Quebec, but when I was
sent a copy of the report from
Quebec it was a different
person same name though." Oh.
The case, on
which Inner City Press aims to
have more, is Bah v. Apple
Inc. et al., 19-cv-3539
