SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 31 – Peloton Interactive
has been sued for the
"impermissible and
self-serving deletion of 57%
of its on-demand fitness class
library.
On July 20, 2020
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman held a
proceeding, which Inner City
Press covered.
It was
pointed out that of the
plaintiffs at issue, less than
five percent were "digital
only."
Others bought
bikes or other equipment.
Judge Liman said the argument,
set for half an hour, was
helpful.
Jump cut to
September 16, 2021, when the
plaintiff filed with class
certification motion, with
redactions: "a pop up
advertisement touting
Defendant's [REDACTED]."
If is was a
pop-up ad, how can this
content be sealed?
On January 11,
2022, Judge Liman held another
proceeding, and Inner City
Press again covered it. Now
named lead plaintiff Eric
Fishon is eyed for ouster, for
falsely claiming to be a
lawyer. The plaintiffs'
counsel said ouster was not
necessary, but that the case
would go forward regardless.
Fishon's angry claim, "I'm a
lawyer!" - was explained as an
attempt to get faster
delivery.
On May 9, 2022,
Judge Liman held another
proceeding. Peloton's request
was to stay discovery.
On October 27,
Judge Liman held another
conference in the case, and
Inner City Press again covered
it. Now plaintiff is to
complete its production of
documents by November 1, and
Mr. Passman's document
production must be completed
by November 4.
The case is
Fishon et al v. Peloton
Interactive, Inc., 19-cv-11711
(Liman)
