Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
held a discovery proceeding.
Inner City Press covered

by false allegations of sexual
harassment, submitted to
Buzzfeed, by Nic Thakkar and
Nate Hernandez, quoted
bragging on Twitter about a
boost in listeners from 40 to
1,400 in a month.
Judge
Netburn asked, if the dispute
does not really revolve around
performance, why there should
be be discovery into those
issues.

et al., 19-cv-7571 (Koeltl /
Netburn)
