In the dispute between the equity partners of Napoli Bern Ripka Shkolnik, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Eileen Bransten on Thursday moved up the date that she will hear a request by Marc Bern to hold Paul Napoli in contempt and to seek other emergency measures.
A day earlier, Bern had asked the court to terminate Napoli’s authority to access funds and asked that Napoli be removed as managing partner of the firm. Bern also asked that he be held in criminal contempt for “willfully violating” orders from the court and a court-appointed receiver of the partnership, former Nassau County Justice Ira Warshawsky.
