SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 1 – Arthur Balder, a film maker, sued Susan Sarandon for alleged tortious interference in the film "American Mirror: Intimations of Immortality."

  Now court record show that a settlement has been reached, but that it sealed and confidential: pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the transcript is confidential and shall not be shared with any non-party." A conference call, presumably also confidential, was held on April 1, 2024 "to discuss settlement execution." 

 On October 4, 2022, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.  

At issue is whether Balder can serve Sarandon and co-defendants by e-mail. Counsel to Sarandon said she will waive service of the summons and that she, the counsel, may soon represent co-defendants too.  

Judge Netburn denied the request for e-mail service without prejudice and directed Sarandon's counsel to provide an update by October 11 whether she will represent all co-defendants.

The case is Balder v. Sarandon, et al., 22-cv-6401 (Rochon / Netburn)
