A Manhattan lawyer who was hit with a $10,000 sanction earlier this year for egregious conduct at a deposition is on the hook for an additional $36,274 in attorney fees and expenses. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla (See Profile) on Oct. 17 ordered attorney Joseph Sahid to pay $29,753 in fees and $6,521 in expenses in Matter of Cadlerock Joint Venture v. Sol Greenberg & Sons, 105190/07.
In April, the Appellate Division, First Department, sanctioned Sahid for insulting Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jane Solomon (the trial judge) (See Profile), her clerk, a court reporter and the plaintiff’s counsel, and remanded for a calculation of fees and expenses (NYLJ, April 23). The First Department in June rejected Sahid’s motion for reargument or, in the alternative, leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals.
