SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 19 – Antonio Perez,
originally of Mexico and now
of The Bronx, worked for 666
LLC in the building at 666
East 181st Street in The
Bronx.
He was not
paid overtime and he turned
down a $5000 offer, he was
told if he "ever sued
Defendants in Court,
Defendants would hire someone
to kill
Plaintiff."
On October 19
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John G. Koeltl held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Perez'
lawyer, when asked about this
"intentional infliction of
emotional distress" claim /
murder threat, said that
because his client is from
Mexico, he took it
seriously.
Judge Koeltl said
if true, the police should be
called. But Perez' lawyer,
during the proceeding, agreed
to drop the murder threat from
the FSLA complaint - "without
prejudice."
The case is
Perez v. 666 LLC et al.,
20-cv-5636 (Koeltl)
