SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 1 – Planned Parenthood
was sued for race
discrimination and responded
by seeking to subpoena the
plaintiff's current employer
for all complaints by or
against her.
On January
20, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Lorna G. Schofield
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Planned
Parenthood's lawyer said it
was relevant to know about the
plaintiff's performance on
job(s) since she was fired by
PP.
But Judge
Schofield said the subpoenas
seemed designed to intimidate
and retaliate, and quashed
them. Instead, the plaintiff
will provide information
directly to defendant.
On June 1,
Planned Parenthood was back
before Judge Schofield, now
pushing for the plaintiff's
mental health records. A
letter was said to be due in a
week.
The case is
Gamza-Machado De Souza v.
Planned Parenthood Federation
of America, Inc. et al.,
21-cv-5553 (Schofield)
