COURTHOUSE, Dec 1 –
Arturo Yeremis wants his car
mechanic tools back. But his
former employer, through
counsel, say they own the tool
box.
On
November 18, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it, as it did a follow
up on December 1.
On November 18
Yeremis' lawyer Leonard Zack,
who indicated he had taken the
case pro bono, repeatedly
asked why his client can't
just go and see if his tools
are still there, and get back
to work.
Defense
Counsel, including Morgan
Lewis, listened but did not
budget. In fact, it was said
that since the tool box is not
Yeremis' perhaps the tools
aren't either.
Judge
Woods said the parties could
talk about this. But the
defendants did not want to,
not then and not after.
Things grew worse
for Zack on December 1. After
a lengthy proceeding that
Inner City Press covered, and
which included the staying of
discovery, Judge Woods said he
would issue an order to show
cause for Zack to show why he
had filed a motion to compel.
Zack in
response appeared not to have
understood. He was told to get
the transcript. Sanctions
would not come as a surprise.
But where are the tools?
The case is
Yeremis v. Amerit Fleet
Solutions et al., 20-cv-4723
