SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 13 – Kaloma Cardwell
filed a racial discrimination
case against his employer, the
"white shoe" law firm of Davis
Polk and Wardwell.
He'd been
employed there from September
2014 through August 2018, then
alleged that "defendants
quarterbacked and permitted a
playbook that marginalized,
discriminated against and
retaliated against Plaintiff,
the only Black male associate
in the Davis Polk's 2014
associate class." Then there
was a delay in discovery.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding on July 28. Inner
City Press covered
it.
Amid Davis Polk
complaints, Judge Woods
granted a request to extended
the discovery deadlines - but
said that costs had to be paid
to Davis Polk.
Now on November
13, Judge Woods held another
conference in the case, one
not listed in the Calendar
Events section of PACER. Paul
Weiss as counsel for Davis
Polk had gotten amended
complaint(s) filed on November
9 provisionally sealed,
claiming that material in and
annexed to them are in the
protective order. But are they
now judicial documents? Some
version of the complaint(s)
are to re-filed soon - and
Inner City Press will be
watching.
The case is
Cardwell v. Davis Polk and
Wardwell LLP et al, 19cv10256
