COURTHOUSE,
March 22 – New York City and
Mayor Eric Adams have been
sued for their crackdown on
kava, which plaintiffs
describe as a food
particularly popular with
Pacific Islanders that is
often mixed with water to
consume.
NYC views is as a
food additive and has
suspended and denied licenses.
On March 22
a City lawyer and plaintiffs,
owner of kava cafes, faced
over before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Valerie E. Caproni. Inner City
Press was there, as Judge
Caproni addressed six civil
cases in half an
hour.
A bench trial is
looming; the City's lawyer
tried to hand in some
administrative decisions but
Judge Caproni rightfully said
to do it by letter, into the
public docket.
(Judge Caproni asked Inner
City Press why it was present
for these civil not criminal
cases. A whirlwind of justice
was and is the answer - and
impressive at that).
This case is
Kavasutra 6th Street, Inc. et
al v. Adams, et al.,
23-cv-6359 (Caproni)
