SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 12 – Univision has been
sued for impermissibly using
courtroom sketches of El Chapo
Guzman.
On February
5, U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Louis L. Stanton held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The mother
and daughter court artists,
with whom Inner City Press has
previously discussed another
SDNY case about a Chinese
business using one of their
designs, were apparently on
the line but did not speak.
Reference
was made to the Internet
Archive, "commonly known as
the Wayback Machine," but the
Univision lawyer said that's
something they don't
control.
Judge Stanton
gently suggested that while
the parties were free to talk
settlement at any time,
sometimes starting discovery
helped focus the mind. He
urged discovery to begin, on
Monday.
The
Univision
lawyer was
pushing for
mediation by a
Magistrate
Judge, in this
case Sarah L.
Cave,
assigned.
And
now on
February 12,
Judge Cave
held a
proceeding -
it was
unclear, from
practice,
whether it
would be open
- and then
issued an
order that a
settlement
conference
(definitely
non-public)
will be held
on February 24.
Plaintiff must make a demand
by February 17 and defendants
must respond by February 19.

The case is
Shepard et al v. Fusion Media
Group, LLC et al., 20-cv-2125
(Stanton)
