SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 21 – Two employees sued State State Bank for discrimination. Then their lawyer had some problems - and now the lead plaintiff, too.
On September 15, 2020 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods held a status conference. Inner City Press covered it.
State Street's lawyer complained about the plaintiff getting double standards, while purporting to sympathize for their problems. The plaintiffs cite State Street's "notorious male-dominated 'Boston club' culture."
On October 14, Judge Woods held another conference, and Inner City Press again covered it. Now the lead plaintiff Ksenia Shnyra has asked for more time to complete discovery, citing "my own recent exposure to COVID-19 and the need to quarantine."
State Street's lawyer countered that the quarantine time could have been used to search through emails and produce discovery.
On October 21, 2021 Judge Woods held another proceeding. The parties now have submitted a plan under which all fact discovery is to be completed by May 17, 2022.
The case is Shnyra et al v. State Street Bank and Trust Co., Inc., 19-cv-2420 (Woods)
