SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 17 –
Rahul Siddharth of Verificient
Technologies has been sued by
an ex-employee who says he got
her pregnant and implored her
to abort her
pregnancy.
On
February 25, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Judge Andrew L. Carter held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
plaintiff says she reluctantly
aborted her pregnancy and that
Rahul Siddharth never paid her
the promised
$45,000.
There was talk of JAMS
mediation.
Judge Carter said
to hold off, then, on motions.
He asked for a joint status
report on mediation by May 20.
On April 1, the
parties reappeared before the
assigned Magistrate Judge,
Stuart D. Aaron. A request for
more interrogatories, and to
strike or seal, was denied.
Over the weekend
of July 16-17, this: "ORDER
with respect to [40] Letter
Motion to Compel: Plaintiffs'
motion made on Saturday,
7/16/2022, to compel a
defendant to appear for
deposition on Wednesday,
7/20/2022, in circumstances
where that defendant's counsel
was non-responsive on Friday,
7/15/2022, is DENIED. In that
regard, the Court notes that
Plaintiffs' counsel failed to
provide the Court with a copy
of the deposition notice, or
the date that it was served.
No later than Wednesday,
7/20/2022, Defendants' counsel
shall respond to that portion
of Plaintiffs' motion that
seeks sanctions against him
and his client. The Court
shall hold a telephone
conference on Friday,
7/22/2022."
The case is Doe
v. Siddharth et al.,
21-cv-4285 (Carter / Aaron).
