SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 19 – Jane C. Malloy, an
African-American woman, has
filed a racial discrimination
lawsuit against the U.S. State
Department, specifically
against its U.S. Mission to
the United Nations.
On April 2,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Kevin N. Fox
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press, in-house press at the
SDNY, covered it.
Malloy's complaint recounts
how her nomination for the
Innovation in the Use of
Technology Award was
wrongfully not passed along to
the Chief of Mission, and how
they failed to promote her
from the GG-12 to the GG-13
despite her solid performance
reviews.
Now the State
Department's concern is a
protective order so that
information they produce under
discovery is not available to
the public.
And on
April 19, stating that US
Mission to the UN staffer
Harry Ting cannot be deposed -
possibly justified - the
request was made to file
records under seal, ex parte,
Attorney's Eyes Only.
But might it not
be available under the Freedom
of Information Act - something
that, like First Amendment
protections, the UN doesn't
have and the US Mission is
doing nothing about? Inner
City Press, banned from the
UN, will remain on this case.
It is Malloy v.
US Department of State, et
al., 19-cv-6533 (Gardephe /
Fox)
