- Court Declares Petitioner Remains Managing Member Of LLC Because Operating Agreement Did Not Provide For Removal By Majority Vote On January 11, 2022, in McCormack v. Kuras, Index No. 656434/2021, Justice Joel M. Cohen granted in part a petition for declaratory relief, declaring that petitioner is and remains the managing member of respondent Triboss Brooklyn, LLC. Respondents had attempted to remove petitioner as managing member by majority vote and to amend the company's articles of organization without petitioner's consent.

The Court also denied respondents' motion to dismiss the petition, denied petitioner's request for preliminary injunctive relief, and denied as premature the branch of the petition seeking judicial dissolution. In rejecting respondents' arguments, the Court explained:

Defendants contended that they had produced all responsive documents in their possession and that plaintiffs failed to meet and confer in good faith. The Court denied the motion, explaining:
