SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 1 – Jasmine Burgess sued
Major Model Management for not
paying her minimum wage.
On December
1, U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The modeling
agency says it was up to
Burgess to find work. Judge
Woods inquired into whether
the contract was with Burgess
or her LLP.
Her lawyer said
she set up an LLP because she
heard it was the thing to do,
but hasn't used it.
On February 1,
Judge Woods held another
proceeding, and Inner City
Press again covered it. The
defendant is saying the claims
are inconsistent, alleging
employer / employee
relationship and then denying
it. Judge Woods said to file
the motion to dismiss by
February 25.
On March
28, Judge Woods denied the
motion to dismiss. On June 8
he held another conference and
Inner City Press again covered
it. Discovery is proceeding
(the class excluding current
models).
The case is
Burgess v. Major Model
Management, Inc. et al.,
20-cv-2816 (Woods)
