SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 19 – The Bronx' Aurora
Vegetable Market Corp., at 138
East 174th Street, was sued
under the Fair Labor Standards
Act. Then they stopped paying
their lawyer.
On June 18
there was a proceeding before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Vernon S. Broderick.
Inner City Press covered
it.
The
plaintiffs' lawyer made a
joke, about another judge
diagnosing the rats leaving a
sinking ship. Judge Broderick
called it colorful language
and said he would not all
counsel or their clients rats.
The plaintiffs'
lawyer said he hadn't meant
any insult and would give it
one more chance to settle.
The case is
Castillo v. Aurora Vegetable
Market Corp. et al.,
18-cv-9633 (Broderick).
