Date Filed Document Text
July 3, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 66 MEMORANDUM AND OPINION ORDER re: 58 MOTION to Stay filed by Rajagopala Sampath Raghavendra. Plaintiff's motions to stay the actions are denied, plaintiff's motion to remove the Stober Defendants as his attorney in the 06 Civ. 6841 action is denied and plaintiff's motion to re-open the 06 Civ. 6841 action is denied. The Clerk of the Court is directed to mark as closed Docket Items 156 and 170 in 06 Civ. 6841 and Docket Item 58 in 09 Civ. 0019. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Henry B. Pitman on 7/3/2012) Copies Mailed By Chambers. (jar)
February 19, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 54 ORDER: The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Pitman's R&R in its entirety and upholds the Settlement Agreement. The Court GRANTS Stober's motion to strike immaterial or impertinent matter on its docket and directs the Clerk of Court to strike t he following documents: In the 06 Civ. 6841 action: Docket #'s: 107-08; 114-15; 121; 124; 127; 130-34; In the 08 Civ. 8120 action: Docket #'s: 61; 68-69; and In the 09 Civ. 0019 action: Docket #'s: 45-46 The Court further ORDERS Raghav endra to cease filing papers containing immaterial and inappropriate statements and ad hominem remarks about Stober. Further, the Court exercises its supplemental jurisdiction over the Fee Dispute and finds that the Retainer is valid and enforceable. Finally, the Court finds that Stober has earned an award equal to 1/3 (33.33%) of the monies which Columbia agreed to pay to settle the dispute. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Raghavendra must tender to Columbia properly executed "d ocuments that are necessary to accomplish withdrawal" of all claims; he must tender to Columbia release of all claims against all defendants in all actions and the EEOC Charge; and he must tender any and all documents reasonably demanded by defe ndant Columbia and end this matter. Upon presentation of such documents, Columbia must pay the settlement amount, as stated in the July 30,2009 Settlement Agreement, "less applicable taxes and withholding as wages". Such payment should be m ade to Louis D. Stober, Jr. as attorney, who may deduct the fee specified in the Retainer and remit the balance to Raghavendra. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close as moot all pending motions in the three above-referenced cases (06 Civ. 6841; 08 Civ. 8120; 09 Civ. 0019). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Crotty on 2/19/2010) Copies Mailed By Chambers. (tve) Modified on 2/23/2010 (tve).
April 28, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 18 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Accordingly, for all the reasons set forth above, Irespectfully recommend that the Columbia Defendants' application for an Order directing that plaintiff refrain from having any direct contact with Lee Bollinger, Robert Kasdin and Jane Booth be denied in all respects. Objections to R&R due by 5/15/2009 (Signed by Magistrate Judge Henry B. Pitman on 4/28/09) Copies Mailed by Chambers.(db)
