SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 23 – Miguel Angel
Maldonado sued Butterfield
Catering for failure to pay
overtime.
Butterfield
through counsel says they
don't know who he is, and no
one works more than 20 hours a
week.
On
November 24, 2020 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge
Liman noted that saying "I
don't know who the plaintiff
is" cannot constitute a basis
for motion to dismiss a
properly pleaded complaint.
But, he said, it
was important the parties talk
and quickly figure out if this
is, as he diplomatically put
it, a misunderstanding.
On August 23,
2021, Judge Liman held a
settlement fairness hearing
was held, with interpretation
into Spanish and discussion of
Form 1099s. Attorneys fees are
capped at one-third but there
were provisions of the
proposed settlement that
correctly troubled Judge
Liman. He asked for
confirmation that these
provisions will be dropped.
The case is
Maldonado Juarez et al v.
Butterfield Catering Inc. et
al., 20-cv-4537 (Liman)
