SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 19 – Artist Richard Prince was sued in 2016 by photographer Eric McNatt, for alleged copyright violation of the latter's photograph of musician Kim Gordon.
Now the case approaches a trial pushed back to mid-2024, amid ill health for Prince. On January 19, 2024, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Sidney H. Stein held a proceeding. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the courtroom.
After a detailed discussion of what experts will be able to testify to, Judge Stein said it is important the Prince testify at the trial and therefore he will put it off until after US v. Menendez.
Prince's lawyer Alex Spiro was responding on health when Judge Stein noted the Press in the back of the courtroom.
They went into the robing room, with talk of a letter and even call later on January 19. As of 7 pm, nothing in the docket. Inner City Press will stay on the case.
It is McNatt v. Prince, et al., 16-cv-8896 (Stein)
