COURTHOUSE,
Nov 7 – In the sexual
harassment case of Charlotte
Bennett against Andrew Cuomo a
discovery conference was held
on October 1 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave. Inner City Press live
tweeted it - thread:
Charlotte
Bennett's lawyer: The
defendants have delayed, they
have made us pay for all the
re-imaging of the multiple
iPhones. We have spend 100s of
lawyer hours going through the
materials and videos. We want
this to move forward. The
defendants want to delay...
Cuomo's lawyer:
Ms. Bennett knew she would
have to produce discovery. It
is not just a technical
problem. We want to correct
the public record why we have
had to expend resources - it
is NOT because we are
weaponizing the judicial
system, that impugns our
client
Cuomo's lawyer:
We remain concerned about
plaintiff's counsel's
statements to the press. I am
not specifically seeking a gag
order but I want to raise it
as an issue
Cuomo's
lawyer: It's an attempt to
prejudice our client. Judge:
No relief is being sought. We
are adjourned.
On November 7,
Judge Cave ordered: "The
parties shall conduct the
deposition of Madeline C.
Cuomo on or before January 29,
2025. Defendant Melissa
DeRosa's request for
supplemental production of
Interested Party Lillia
McEnaney's text messages is
GRANTED in part and DENIED in
part. By November 21, 2024,
Ms. McEnaney shall produce all
responsive text messages-which
include those that relate to
her communications with
Defendants by name or by
implication, her employment
with the State of New York..
By December 6, 2024, Ms.
McEnaney shall supplement her
production to Ms. DeRosa with
the embedded images and videos
from Ms. McEnaney's previously
produced text messages after
2020."
