During a recent court hearing, Kaleida Health faced challenges in preventing participants in its pension plan from serving subpoenas on Mercer Investment Consulting and Nixon Peabody LLP. Although the attempt was unsuccessful, Kaleida may have another opportunity to challenge the subpoenas in a different court.
Mercer Investment Consulting, located primarily in New York City, poses a challenge for Kaleida as any efforts to block the subpoena seeking information from Mercer must be pursued through the Southern District of New York. This was made clear by Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy of the US District Court for the Western District of New York during the hearing.
In regards to the subpoena issued to Nixon Peabody LLP, it remains uncertain which court would handle any attempts to quash it. This creates some ambiguity for Kaleida Health as they navigate the legal process in response to the subpoenas being served on these entities. The outcome of these legal proceedings could have significant implications for all parties involved.
