Appeal of judge's ruling could put publishers back into Morgan Carey's lawsuit over sister's memoir
By David Baker
Attorneys for Morgan Carey have filed notice that they intend to appeal a judge's decision that removed the publishers and co-writer of the book "The Meaning of Mariah Carey" from Morgan Carey's lawsuit, leaving only the singer to defend claims over statements in the book that Morgan Carey says have damaged him.
It's not immediately clear if filing of the notice will put on hold discovery in the action against Mariah Carey. Under state Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jaffe's Feb. 15 decision, Mariah Carey's attorney's were ordered to serve an answer to the year-old initial compliant by March 8. Last week, lawyers for both sides agreed to extend that deadline until March 22.
Morgan Carey's lawsuit, filed on March 3, 2021, named as defendants, Macmillan Publishing Group, doing business as Henry Holt and Co., Andy Cohen Book, and the book's co-writer, Michaela Angela Davis.
