Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Alexander Tisch granted Ashworth’s request on Wednesday for a default judgment against Gooding on the claims of assault and battery.
However, the judge did deny the claim of emotional distress citing redundancy.
The judge suggested to take the case to trial to see how much the alleged victim should be awarded.
