SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 12 – Remi Laba, a
resident of Westchester County
in New York, made a deal with
a South African company which
sells Rooibos tea to push its
Coco Safar concept in Saudi
Arabia.
Then, he
says, his signature was
forged. On
September 11 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Alvin K. Hellerstein held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Hellerstein asked,
repeatedly, how forgery would
be proved. Laba's lawyer had
written that his "client's
signature mysteriously came to
appear on the document at the
center of this case."
Judge
Hellerstein asked how much the
case is worth. $100,000 was
the answer.
Judge
Hellerstein insisted the
proper service be effectuated
by October 9 and set another
status conference for February
19.
The case is Laba
v. JBO Worldwide Supply Pty
Ltd, 20-cv-3443 (Hellerstein)
