SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 16 – Solomon Sharbat sued
Iovance Biotherapeutics for
"willful failure and refusal
to pay fees."
On October 19 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Edgardo Ramos held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Iovance
argued that incoming
substitute plaintiff's counsel
should not be allowed, as he
might be a witness.
They wrote,
"Plaintiff Sharbat has
testified under oath that Mr.
Schwartz instructed him to lie
in a FINRA enforcement
proceeding and physically
assaulted him and threatened
his life.
On
November 16, Judge Ramos held
another proceeding. Inner City
Press again covered it. There
were arguments that Sharbat
was not required to make
sales, but only connections,
under his contract. The
defendants' subpoena was not,
as FINRA requested, quashed.
The case is
Sharbat et al v. Iovance
Biotherapeutics, Inc. et al.,
20-cv-1391 (Ramos)
