SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 22 – Oscar Ramirez and
others in 2014 sued Liberato
Restaurant of Burnside Avenue
in The Bronx for failure to
pay minimum wage and overtime.
Seven years later on March 22,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Valerie E. Caproni had a
proceeding in the case on the
public docket. Inner City
Press called in to cover
it.
It emerged
that while the docket did not
say it, the session was in the
nature of a settlement
conference.
Liberato
has claimed, into the docket,
that its business was hurt not
only by COVID but also by
Black Lives Matter protests.
They want to stay
the default provisions of the
settlement agreement.
Judge
Caproni, genially, asked Inner
City Press to leave the call
as it was a settlement
conference.
She said, I'm
sure you'll find another
fascinating case to cover. And
we did! But there are no small
cases.
This one is
Ramirez et al v. M L
Restaurant, Corp. et al.,
14-cv-4030 (Caproni)
