SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 17 – Rufina DeJesus sued
the Indian restaurant Bukhara
Grill on East 49th Street in
Turtle Bay. But the
restaurant's lawyers say the
business is closed and broke,
amid COVID
shutdowns.
On
February 17, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Barbara C.
Moses held a proceeding. Inner
City Press covered it.
The
plaintiff avers he worked at
Bukhara Grill from December
30, 2014 to July 19, 2020.
Still, the defendants' lawyer
asked rhetorically, Why did he
sue? What does he want? We are
broke.
There is a
joint status report now due on
March 31.
The case is
Dejesus et al v. Bukhara Grill
II, Inc. et al., 20-cv-6147
(Gardephe / Moses)
