On September 28, 1999, Angela Stern, the owner of a Chinese restaurant in the Village of Mount Kisco, New York, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking an injunction to stop her eviction. Plaintiff alleged that her landlord, at the request of officials for the Village of Mount Kisco, attempted to evict her and shut down her restaurant because she had altered the menu to attract a Latino clientele. This was one of an alleged series of illegal measures taken by Mount Kisco to force Hispanic immigrants from its community.
On October 18, 1999, the District Court (Judge Colleen McMahon) issued a preliminary injunction enjoining eviction proceedings.
The parties then reached a confidential settlement. The Court entered a stipulation and order of discontinuance on September 5, 2000, advising that any further motion to enforce the settlement agreement or underlying lease agreement would need to be brought by way of a separate action.
