SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 8 – Workers sued Ollie's
To Go Restaurant in 2016. By
July 2020, thing fell apart.
On July 8,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding, in Mandarin and
English. Inner City Press
covered it.
On the
agenda was the request by the
Troy Law Firm to withdraw.
Clients of its opposed it,
saying they weren't concerned.
They were told that was not
the purpose of the
hearing.
In a game
of telephone, they asked if
the Judge had been present,
since they weren't. Things
went downhill from there.
Ultimately, after
Troy Law Firm's request to
withdraw was granted,
plaintiff after plaintiff said
they were dropping their
claims.
The case is, or
was, Chen et al v. WMK 89th
Street LLC et., 16-cv-5735
