The article discusses allegations against Shira Scheindlin, a judge-turned-arbitrator, claiming she overstepped her bounds in a legal dispute involving the Ramones. The lawsuit involves Linda Cummings-Ramone and Mickey Leigh, regarding former business manager David Frey, accused of not presenting a potential Netflix deal to the right holders. Frey's lawyers argue that Scheindlin lacked jurisdiction in her recent ruling and have criticized her conduct, including outbursts in court. They seek to vacate her decision, asserting she exceeded her powers in determining the case's outcomes.
"Judge Scheindlin exceeded her bounds and usurped jurisdiction on issues over which she lacked the power to decide," Frey's lawyer's claimed in a January filing seeking to vacate her decision and also accusing her of "often screaming at defense counsel for inconsequential acts."
A transcript included in court records shows Scheindlin chastising Frey's lawyers for failing to provide evidence ahead of time and for dragging out proceedings.
