Others named in the lawsuit include the event promoter of the December 2 show, a performer playing at the warehouse, and representatives of a next door business. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.This lawsuit is just the latest in a series of actions that have taken place since the fire. A criminal investigation is currently underway and late last year, the parents of 20-year-old Michela Gregory filed a lawsuit against Ng, Ion and others.
