SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 23 – Julio Tellez Garcia
sued Sal 79 Associates, Inc.
and its restaurants including
Coppola's West and Coppola's
East for failure to pay
overtime.
On
September 23 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District Judge Katherine Polk
Failla held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Judge
Failla explained to the
parties that for the
foreseeable features, there
can be only three jury trials
at once in the SDNY
courthouse.
The defendants' lawyer talked
about how hard business is
under COVID.
Judge Failla said
she's seen bankruptcies of
gyms but not yet restaurants.
(From another case Inner City
Press covered on September 23,
before SDNY Magistrate Judge
Parker, fish
markets should be added
to the list of businesses
bankrupted and foiling
settlements).
Judge
Failla said she'll ask
Magistrate Judge Fox and order
a settlement conference in
either October or November.
The case is
Garcia et al v. Sal 79
Associates, Inc. et al.,
19-cv-1301 (Failla)
