SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 27 – P. O'Gorman claims sexual harassment by the "lobby manager of the Mercer Hotel, whose conduct was well-known to his employers."
On July 24 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis J. Liman held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Claudia Costa, an insurance carrier-paid lawyer representing Mercer Hotel Corporation, argued for sanctions against the plaintiff's attorney Joshua Bernstein. He in turn expressed skepticism that Mercer Hotel is unrelated to Mercer Kitchen.
Judge Liman declined to stay discovery and said he would only address motions actually before him. Ms Costa, repeatly saying "with all due respect," said she will be filing a sanctions motion.
The case is O'Gorman v. Mercer Kitchen L.L.C. et al., 20-cv-01404 (Liman)
