SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 29– Panzerotti Bites of
Brooklyn sued I Love
Panzerotti NY, LLC for
appropriating its image on its
signage.
On March 5, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Panzerotti
Bites explains that panzerotti
"is similar to calzone but
different in significant
ways." Its owners had to
submit their business plan to
DHS to get E-2 bites.
Now they say
their lawyer stole their
information. Judge Hellerstein
set a next proceeding for May
7.
And when that
happened, the entire case was
pushed into May 2022, for a
jury trial if the panzerotti
controversy remain a live one:
"CIVIL CASE MANAGEMENT PLAN:
The case is to be tried to a
jury. Amended Pleadings due by
10/31/2021. Joinder of Parties
due by 10/31/2021. Discovery
due by 5/6/2022. Case
Management Conference set for
5/20/2022 at 10:00 AM before
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein. So
Ordered. (Signed by Judge
Alvin K. Hellerstein on
5/7/21)."
On October 29, I
Love Panzerotti filed
counter-claims, including that
Panzerotti Bites of Brooklyn
doctors receipts with a fake
Square copyright, using Adobe
Photoshop. It charges Fraud
Upon the Court.
Jump cut to March
29, 2022, when the parties
filed a proposed order to
dismiss the case, saying they
have reached a settlement,
undisclosed.
The case is
Lattanzio & De Ruvo Corp.
v. I Love Panzerotti NY, LLC,
20-cv-2080 (Hellerstein)
