SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 4 – Hua Tian delivered
sushi for Ooki Sushi Japanese
Cuisine & Bar on 1575
Third Avenue in Manhattan in
2019 and in 2020 until
February 23. He has alleged
that either overtime nor
minimum wage were
paid.
On August 4 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Default judgment
was vacated and denied amid
sworn testimony about sloppy
or fake service of process.
Going forward,
service has been waived and
the time to answer or respond
to the Complaint has been
extended to September 3. For
any motion by the Defendants
for sanctions, Judge Woods
would have to be informed by
August 1.
The case is Tian
v. New Ooki Sushi, Inc. et
al., 20-cv-1950 (Woods)
