May 15 – James
W. Dabney
moved for a
preliminary
injunction to
keep his
Hughes Hubbard
& Read
e-mailed
address while
litigating
about his
pension.
The
law firm, he
says, tried to
get him to
drop the
pension /
ERISA and ADA
claims in
exchange for
the status
quo.

New York Judge
Mary Kay
Vyskocil held

hearing.

Judge
saying defense
submissions
are
untimely.
Dabney
says he wanted
to retire like
Sandy Koufax,
not like
Willie
Mays.
Judge:
What does that

Dabney
quotes Jerry
Seinfeld.
Hughes
Hubbard's
lawyer
objects, asks
to
strike.
Judge:
This is a
bench hearing,
no striking.
But let's get
out of the
weeds.
Dabney
wants to keep
his Hughes

address, and
not be
"stigmatized."
Note:
Sandy Koufax
never had
these
issues.
Dabney
has broken
down crying.

says take a
water break
before cross
examination by
Proskauer,
representing
Hughes

counsel, not
vendor,
correct?
Dabney:
I felt
that-
He
is told, just
answer.
