SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 14 – David and
Sharon Rosen sued Leah Sporn
Savitt for fraud. Then their
lawyer locked himself out of
his
car.
On April 12, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John P. Cronan held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The plaintiffs'
lawyer did not appear; the
defendant's lawyer asked for
sanctions, saying Ms Sporn
never even met with them,
other than in social setting.
Judge Cronan
declined to do much, ex
parte.
After the
conference, plaintiff's
counsel wrote to Judge Cronan:
"I locked myself (and my
wallet, computer and files)
out of my car. I thought about
breaking a window to meet the
conference, but my wife would
not let me....My clients, the
former chief rabbi of South
Africa, gave defendant Kalman
Sporn his life savings and it
is stolen."
On April 14,
Judge Cronan convened another
proceeding. Again defense
counsel said he wants to
pursue sanctions. He said Leah
Sporn Savitt's
only
connection is
receiving
money from her
brother, that
if this is
enough to sue
he should be
sued, for
receiving his
retainer.
The case is Rosen
et al. v. Sporn et al.,
21-cv-683 (Cronan)
