SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 3 –  Tiger Contracting Corp. at 3805 Broadway in Astoria, Queens has been sued by a union's trustees, for an audit and more.           

      On November 3 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John P. Cronan held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

  Tiger Contracting, as before, did not show up. Judge Cronan asked the plaintiffs' lawyer how she got the address - from the Local, was the answer - and how long she has practices this kind of law. Long enough to justify $250 an hour. 

  Judge Cronan approved the fees but said that a new proposed default judgment should be submitted, on damages.

The case is  Trustees of the Drywall Tapers and Pointers Local Union 1974 Benefit Funds et al v. Tiger Contracting Corp., 21-cv-5248 (Cronan)
