SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 9 – Jesus Trinidad Martinez sued A Spice Route Inc. and its Tandoor Palace for unpaid wages.
Then Tandoor Palace sought an emergency hearing on a prior settlement agreement being made public.
On January 8, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
The lawyer for A Spice Route wanted to submit the prior settlement under seal. Judge Woods said that judicial documents are presumptively public.
He cited a decision in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, arising after another Judge Woods decision in the case against Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards.
The lawyer for A Spice Route asked if there is a deadline to file. No, Judge Woods said, if you file nothing I will in turn do nothing on this.
The case is Martinez et al v. A Spice Route Inc. et al., 20-cv-9571 (Woods)
