Harassment Now Dismissal Deal

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 26 – Barnes
& Noble is
being sued by
Demos
Parneros, the
CEO it fired
while saying
he violated
company
policy.
In a
September 13,
2019
proceeding
with Inner
City Press the
only media
present, the
issue of
alleged sexual
harassment "in this age
of #MeToo"
came to the
fore along
with ancillary
legal issues
before U.S.
District Court
for the Southern
District of
New York Magistrate Judge
Gabriel W. Gorenstein.
Parneros' lawyers
from Vladeck,
Raskin &
Clark had
conducted a deposition
in Kansas
only the day
before. They are
seeking access
to B&N
document the
latter claims
are covered by
attorney
client
privilege.
Judge
Gorenstein
was his usual
erudite
self. It was
difficult not
to note that
while all four
lawyers at the
counsel tables
were women,
both of Judge
Gorenstein's law clerks
present were
male. More on
Patreon here.
Now in
October 2020, Parneros
and B&N have
filed a stipulation
and proposed
order of
dismissal of
claims, with
District Judge
Mary Kay
Vyskocil filed
on October 23.
The case is
Perneros v.
Barnes &
Noble, Inc., 18-cv-7834
(Vyskocil /
Gorenstein).
