UN GATE / SDNY
COURT, Aug 1 – That the
United Nations, under Antonio
Guterres, is corrupt and
retaliatory is well known.
But it has
spread even to the UN
International School at 24-50
FDR Drive, to which the
retaliation of Guterres'
spokesman Stephane
Dujarric and his
Emirates censor Maher
Nasser has spread.
On April
14 Inner City Press, ousted by
Nasser and Dujarric and banned
from the UN now 730days,
covered a discovery conference
in a case against UNIS for
retaliation against a long
time employee with a health
condition.
Now this:
"ORDER. On July 31, 2020, the
Court held a conference to
discuss the parties' July 30,
2020 request to reopen
discovery. Dkt. No. 79. For
the reasons stated on the
record during the conference,
the application to reopen
discovery is GRANTED for the
limited purpose described in
the parties' letter. Discovery
will be re-opened for a period
of sixty days beginning on the
date on which the Court
renders its decision on
Defendant's anticipated motion
for summary judgment.
Plaintiff's amended expert
report must be served on
Defendant by two weeks from
the date of the Court's
summary judgment decision.
Defendant's amended rebuttal
expert report must be served
on Plaintiff by two weeks from
the date on which Plaintiff
serves his amended expert
report. Plaintiff is directed
to pay Defendant's reasonable
expenses, including attorneys'
fees, in connection with the
reopening of discovery.
(HEREBY ORDERED by Judge
Gregory H. Woods)."
The
plaintiff reported to UNIS CFO
Stephen Roache. In May Roache
wrote in: "LETTER addressed to
Daniel Patrick Moynihan United
States Courthouse from Stephen
Roache dated 5/7/2020 re: I am
writing in reference to Case#
1:19-cv-05281-GHW, in which I
am the non-party. I do not
intend to oppose the order to
show cause and will follow any
orders the court issues
regarding the case. I will
participate in the May 29th
hearing at 4 pm. I may be
reached via email at [Redacted
by Inner City Press] or via
telephone at [Redacted
by Inner City
Press]."
On May
29, Inner City
Press covered
the
proceeding.
Judge Woods
ordered Roche to
provide his
EEOC complaint
to the parties
- but allowed
it to be
withheld from
the docket. He did
say, however,
that he
is not bound
by the parties'
argument to
seal it. But
if it's kept out
of the docket,
can it
be unsealed?
Why is this UN
entity so
secretive about the
discrimination
charges
against it?
We'll have more on
this.
When
due to health reasons the
plaintiff needed to work from
home, he was harassed and
chased out. Similarly, in
South Sudan the UN put its own
staff on a bus without social
distancing.
On June 19
UNIS appeared again in front
of Judge Woods, now asking to
file a motion for summary
judgment. Their deadline was
set for July 31. Inner City
Press will continue to cover
this case, given this impunity
and corruption of such much of
UN-world.
Its UN
Security officers, long after
gyms were ordered closed
throughout New York, continued
working out, three at a time.
Dujarric refuses to answer
questions on it. This is a
case Inner City Press will
continue cover to cover. Watch
this site.
