SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 9 – Jesus Trinidad
Martinez sued A Spice Route
Inc. and its Tandoor Palace
for unpaid wages.
Then Tandoor
Palace sought an emergency
hearing on a prior settlement
agreement being made
public.
On January
8, U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The lawyer
for A Spice Route wanted to
submit the prior settlement
under seal. Judge Woods said
that judicial documents are
presumptively public.
He cited a
decision in the case against
Ghislaine Maxwell, arising
after another Judge Woods decision
in the case
against Natalie Mayflower
Sours Edwards.
The lawyer
for A Spice Route asked if
there is a deadline to file.
No, Judge Woods said, if you
file nothing I will in turn do
nothing on this.
The case is
Martinez et al v. A Spice
Route Inc. et al., 20-cv-9571
(Woods)
