Former Medient CEO granted restraining order
A Nevada court has granted the ousted CEO of Medient Studios a restraining order against his former company and set a date for a preliminary injunction hearing.
The Washoe County Second Judicial District Court on Tuesday granted Manu Kumaran’s temporary restraining order and set the hearing date for 9:30 a.m. July 23. The order essentially puts a freeze on all of Medient’s activities for two weeks.
Kumaran is petitioning for a court-appointed receiver to dissolve the Effingham County entertainment company, whose board of directors fired him on June 9.
The company is headquartered in Georgia but was incorporated in Nevada.
Medient Studios has declined to comment on Kumaran’s suit as well as another lawsuit filed locally by a shareholder. A company spokeswoman said earlier this week that Medient plans to stay in business and continue with its plans to build a studioplex on land in Effingham County.
