"During oral arguments Wednesday, four of five panelists aired doubts about Cuomo's arguments that JAMS arbitrator Stephen P. Sonnenberg was biased by his previous representation, scoffing at the idea that his former law firm's work for CNN over 20 years ago tainted the arbitrator's judgment and questioning why Cuomo only raised the issue a year into the case. Cuomo's bias claims were tossed last year, and summary judgment was granted to JAMS, the site reported."
"Cuomo was fired as a CNN prime-time host in December 2021 after an investigation into how involved he was in helping his brother, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), fight back against sexual misconduct allegations. At the time, CNN said in a statement that Cuomo was let go following the evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother's defense."
Four of five appellate judges expressed skepticism that JAMS arbitrator Stephen P. Sonnenberg was biased because his former law firm had worked for CNN over 20 years earlier and questioned why the bias claim was raised a year into the case. Cuomo's bias claims were previously dismissed and summary judgment was entered for JAMS. Cuomo was fired as a CNN prime-time host in December 2021 after an investigation into his involvement assisting his brother, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, against sexual misconduct allegations. CNN said new information about that involvement prompted the termination. Cuomo's lawyers assert CNN had full knowledge of his dealings, and Cuomo apologized on-air in May 2021.
