SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 10 – In February 2020 a mysterious complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Muhammad Miah who had worked as a doorman at the Domenick Hotel complained that "at the end of September 2019, a man, let's call him 'The Gentleman' - perhaps a guest - idled his car directly in front of the hotel."    Soon, according to the complaint, this "Gentleman" uttered "Muslim something" to offend Miah.
 On July 10 SDNY Judge Lewis J. Liman held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
  Judge Liman inquired into "the Gentleman," his relationship to the hotel and whether he should be publicly named.
He directed that the hotel file a motion for a protective order to protect it from disclosing the name of the individual identified as 'The Gentleman' in plaintiff's complaint."
The case is Miah v. The Dominick Hotel, 20-cv-1172 (Liman)
