A second lawsuit has been filed against a popular kosher market in Los Angeles over allegations about improper meat certification.
City News Service says the suit filed Friday against Doheny Glatt Kosher and its former owner, Michael Engelman, alleges fraud, breach of contract, battery and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
A similar lawsuit was filed Tuesday by a Beverly Hills man who said he hoped to add plaintiffs to make it a class action.
Last month a council of rabbis pulled Doheny’s kosher certification after a video surfaced, purportedly showing workers at the store bringing in boxes of meat at night without required religious supervision. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investigating.
Last week a prominent LA entrepreneur and philanthropist, Shlomo Rechnitz, purchased the market from Engelman.

Since this area is not far from HOLLYWOOD, the entire saga is starting to sound like a Spielberg mystery and action film.
