SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 24 – Nathaneal Chevalier
sued Sharp Pros LCC, a
building management company he
worked for, under the Fair
Labor Standards Act for not
paying overtime.
On November
24 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Ronnie Abrams held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The parties
have scheduled a December 3
mediation, but suddenly there
is an issue with sharing
documents before it, on the
theory that would waive
arguments that could later be
advanced if the mediation does
not work.
Judge
Abrams listened, then urged
the parties to talk again and
agree the showing the
documents for purpose of
mediation is not a waiver.
The case is
Chevalier v. Staffpro, Inc. et
al., 20-cv-7006 (Abrams)
