SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 22 – Samantha Siva Kumaran
sued Northland Energy Trading
LLC for allegedly keeping and
using her risk hedging
software - then she wanted
many of the pleadings and
exhibits kept secret and
sealed.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil held a
proceeding on June 18.
Inner City Press
covered it. Kumaran repeatedly
asked to have forthcoming
filings sealed. Judge Vyskocil
to her credit said, That's not
how it works in Federal
court.
Well, it's
not supposed to be how it
works.
Ultimately Judge Vyskocil
issued an order denying the
motion to strike document from
the record, and referring the
plaintiff's motion for a
protective order to Magistrate
Judge Freeman.
Now in
January Kumaran has argued
that defendants are not
complying with their discovery
obligations. On January 22
Magistrate Judge Freeman held
a proceeding, and Innner City
Press covered it.
The motions to
compel and for sanctions were
both denied, albeit without
prejudice. Another conference
was scheduled for February 4.
Inner City Press will continue
to cover this case.
The case is
Kumaran et al v. Northland
Energy Trading, LLC et al.,
19-cv-8345 (Vyskocil /
Freeman).
