SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 10 – The Bronx
Conservatory of Music has sued
The Bronx School For Music and
Philip Kwoka for copyright
violation.
In a
complaint filed on February 26
and dug up that day in the
docket by Inner City Press at
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York, Bronx Conservatory of
Music says it hred Kwoka as
its Executive Director in
October 2015.
He left in
the summer of 2020 with
proprietary information,
according to the complaint.
This included
lists of people and donors who
he then contacted to set up a
new School. The demand is for
return of the information,
disgorgement and injunction.
In January 2024,
the defendant's motion for
summary judgment was granted.
And on February
9, the defendant wrote in
seeking to reopen the case on
the issue of attorney's fees,
saying "this matter is a
textbook example of bad faith
litigation."
The case is The
Bronx Conservatory of Music,
Inc. v. Philip Kwoka and The
Bronx School for Music, Inc.,
21-cv-1732 (Torres / Moses)
