Cemeno's Pizza Family Lawsuit Resolved, Court Battle Over

JOLIET, IL — This month, a Will County judge signed off on an order dismissing the civil lawsuit involving two sisters from the Cemeno family suing siblings Michael Cemeno, Natalie Cemeno and Suzanne "Sue" Schultz seeking a judgment of at least $2 million over the family's restaurant, Cemeno's Pizza.

The December 2022 lawsuit, filed just a few days before Christmas by sisters Jill Glavan and Sharon Hicks, is no longer on the Will County court docket because "the parties have agreed to settlement terms," stated plaintiff's lawyer John Bielski of Bielski Chapman of Chicago's North Wacker Drive.

"A settlement agreement was drafted and the parties are signing the agreement," the lawyer noted. "The undersigned expects the settlement documents to be fully executed by the presentment date for this motion and an order dismissing the matter with prejudice will be submitted."

Last December, Sue Schultz told Joliet Patch that her two sisters, Glavan and Hicks, resigned as Cemeno's Pizza employees of their own accord, around 2019 and 2020, respectively. One of the sisters has opened a restaurant in Aurora, according to Schultz.

During the interview eight months ago, Schultz told Joliet Patch she and her brother are confident the civil lawsuit against them will get dismissed in the coming months.

As for the fact that two of the Cemeno sisters are suing their other two sisters and brother, Schultz asked, "Who does that?"
