City asks for order to silence attorney
GLOVERSVILLE — The city is trying to stop Gary Margiotta’s attorney from releasing deposition testimony gathered during the former city clerk’s wrongful-termination lawsuit.
Attorneys from Albany-based Girvin & Ferlazzo, which represents the city, also want to stop Margiotta’s lawyer, Elmer Robert Keach III, from revealing information he’s been gathering that is not considered a “public document” under state law.
The city is seeking the protective order from U.S. District Court in Utica.
Margiotta was escorted by a police officer from City Hall Dec. 29, 2006. In January 2007, four members of the Common Council voted not to reappoint Margiotta.
In the lawsuit Margiotta later filed, Keach alleges Mayor Tim Hughes and members of the Common Council had
Margiotta removed in order to silence former 4th Ward Councilwoman Shirley Savage.
