SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 26 – The Jue Lan
Club in the former Limelight
space on West 20th Street has
been sued by its employees.
Their complaint
says that "the Club is
extremely accommodating to
high-end patrons, which
include rapper A-Boogie and
NBA players Paul Pierce and
Kevin Garnett, allowing them
to smoke marijuana in the Club
regularly despite servers'
repeated protests about the
health risks posed to the
staff."
On August 26,
2020 U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Magistrate Judge Robert
W. Lehrburger held a
proceeding in the case. Inner
City Press covered it,
exclusively it seems.
But before
the issues of the pot smoking
big-wigs and a text message
from the owner ordering staff
to wear high top Air Jordans
even if it hurt their ankles
could be addressed, another
problem arose.
The Club's
defense lawyer has been locked
out of his office. Andrew
Keith Staulcup told Judge
Lehrburger that his former law
partner forged his signature
and was holding on the files
in all of his cases.
Judge
Lehrburger extended the times
in the case management plan
for 45 days, but urged that
the matter of the seized files
be addressed. And then the Air
Jordan High tops?
Now on July 26,
2021, docketed in SDNY is
this: "JUDGMENT: A notice of
acceptance of a Rule 68 Offer
of Judgment having been filed
on July 23, 2021; and
Defendants having offered
Plaintiff Admir Cuturic an
offer of judgment, pursuant to
Rule 68 of the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure, against
Defendants in the amount of
$7,500.00 inclusive of all
damages, interest, costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by Plaintiff in
litigating his claims to the
date of this offer; it is
ORDERED and ADJUDGED that
Judgment is entered in favor
of Plaintiff against
Defendants in the amount of
$7,500.00 inclusive of all
damages, interest, costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by Plaintiff in
litigating his claims to the
date of this offer. SO
ORDERED."
The case is
Cuturic v. The Jade Farm LLC
et al, 20-cv-3363
(Lehrburger).
