SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 16 – Carmichael
Gallery in Los Angeles sold a
painting and a sculpture
for International
Systems Groups - but allegedly
forged the signature of a
purported buyer. A lawsuit
ensued.
On November 4, 2021 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul G. Gardephe held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
In the
docket was an affidavit about
how the plaintiffs sought to
track down Seth Carmichael
using LexisNexis and TLOxp of
Transunion.
In January
2023 Seth Carmichael wrote to
Inner City Press requesting
that the story be updated. We
will: the case was referred to
SDNY Magistrate Judge Stuart
D. Aaron for a settlement
conference. That was set for
December 9, 2021. The parties
exchanged settlement offers.
By January 19, 2022, there was
a memorandum of understanding;
in February they wrote in
again requesting more time to
"consummate," and again on
March 30, 2021. That was
approved on April 4, 2021 -
and there the paper trial
ends. It is said the matter
was settled out of court, and
so it appears.
The case is, or
was, International Systems
Group, Inc. v. Carmichael et
al., 21-cv-6301 (Gardephe)
