SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 25 – Global Refining
Group, a catalytic converter
recycling and processing
company, sued PMD Analysis and
the couple which owns it, for
stealing trade secrets - and
more than 8000
photographs.
On November 5, 2021 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Global Refining
Group, it seems, believes that
the couple, Robert Turcotte
and Monica Armstrong, are
stalking horses for another
competitor.
On February 24,
2022, Judge Woods held a
conference on Plaintiff's
motion for summary judgment,
which he denied. He asked for
a letter by March 3.
On March 10 Judge
Woods set a new schedule:
expert discovery to June 1,
and a next telephone
conference on July 19.
The case was
reassigned to new Judge
Jennifer L. Rochon, who held a
proceeding on October 25, 2022
which Inner City Press went
and covered.
Counsel
for Turcotte and Armstrong, as
well as PMD Analysis, was
seeking to withdraw, due to
not being paid or responded
to. Judge Rochon asked about
attempts to reach the clients,
then issued an oral ruling
allowing counsel to withdraw.
She kept the February 2023
bench trial date. Plaintiff's
counsel thanked her for that.
The defendants have 30 days to
find new counsel.
The case is
Global Refining Group, Inc. v.
PMD Analysis Inc. et al.,
21-cv-532 (Woods)
