SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 24 –
Ashley Francis sued Tompkins
Square Acquisition LLC and
Seven A Cafe for being
inaccessible to the
disabled.
On
August 24 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge John P. Cronan
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
As issue
was the defendants' request
for Ms. Francis' tax returns
or at least 1099s.
They are alleging
that she just goes to
businesses stoops and sues -
then possibly doesn't pay
taxes.
Her lawyer said
it is not relevant but
collateral.
But Judge Cronan
ordered that the 1099s be
produced, albeit with the
names of the previously
settlement businesses
redacted. What will it prove?
The case is
Francis v. Tompkins Square
Acquisition LLC et al.,
20-cv-4015 (Cronan)
