SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 15 – Pastor Nestor
Victor, a sandwich maker, sued
Sam's Deli of 7 East 170th
Street in The Bronx for not
paying
overtime.
On
November 13 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Valerie E. Caproni held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Earlier,
Judge Caproni had reminded the
parties they cannot drop the
suit without filing a
settlement agreement or
Department of Labor document.
The
question arose on November 13
there were really was a
settlement, or cold feet. It
was referred to the Magistrate
Judge, Sarah L. Cave. The
parties said they thought that
had already happened.
On November 24
Magistrate Judge Cave held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it; to her credit,
Judge Cave kept it open
throughout.
Judge Cave,
noting that one of the parties
was still resisting signing,
said she is loathe to pressure
parties to settle. But, she
said, if the skittish party
would be willing to speak with
her, he has nothing to worry
about.
It
appears there will be another
call; it is unclear if it
would be public, or docketed.
Elsewhere in SDNY on November
24, another proceeding
described as about issues with
a settlement agreement that
had been reached was abruptly
deemed closed. There is a lack
of transparency to the press
and public, some perhaps
understandable. We'll continue
on this.
The case is
Nestor Victor et al v. Sams
Deli Grocery Corp. et al.,
19-cv-2965 (Caproni / Cave)
