Roginsky, who is represented by Nancy Erica Smith, is also a lawyer handling a lawsuit against the network by Carlson.
Fox News could not be reached immediately to comment on both cases.

But Murdoch, 86, has given up the day. to-
The company's day-to-day operations for CEO James and his brother Lachlan, Lachlan shares the title of executive chairman.
In the coming weeks, the young Murdoch family will be under the greatest pressure to address these latest prosecutions involving Fox News workplaces.

The report on O'Reilly published by The Times on Sunday tells how five women working on the network were paid from O'Reilly, in exchange for O'Reilly news, agreed not to file a sexual harassment lawsuit.

The Times details three settlements that have not been reported before, two of which are recent settlements, and O'Reilly or Fox News pays women accused of being victims of sexual harassment.
According to the newspaper, in addition to the previous two public cases, O'Reilly's total expenditure was $13 million.
O'Reilly and Fox News settled two of these cases after Ayres officially left the company in July, just hours before Donald Trump delivered an acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
The women cited many examples of "abusive, lewd comments, unwanted progress, and phone calls" in which it sounded like Mr.
"O'Reilly is masturbating," the Times quoted court documents and interviews as saying . ".
Fox News anchor said in a statement Saturday that he did not deny the authenticity of the Times report.
However, O'Reilly did note that during the more than 20 years Fox has worked on the network, no one has filed any complaints with his department of interpersonal relations, and that he "quashed any disputes ", lest his child be embarrassed.
When Carlson filed a lawsuit, O'Reilly was part of a number of Fox News anchors who defended Ayres, when alleging that "famous, powerful or wealthy" people were easily prosecuted, this is equivalent to extortion.
James Murdoch has been promoted to CEO for just over 18 months, replacing his 86-year-old father.
Ayres's departure was largely due to young Murdoch's insistence that the network show its employees and the public that it takes the allegations seriously.
James and Lachlan said in a statement on July that they would not tolerate "a workplace that does not respect women or create an uncomfortable working environment ".
"Fox agreed to resolve sexual harassment charges against O'Reilly, which marked a shift in the company's attitude towards employee charges
Executives and on-
Labor and employee legal counsel for air talent, Anne fradick, said she successfully represented anuncha Brown Sanders, a former New York Knicks executive, against the team's former coach, Iseya Sanders ·
This strategy is called "before" in the industry.
"Pre-emptive" is the strategy used by Ronald Green's lawyers representing O'Reilly in past cases boasting about on his website. "Mr.
Green is one of the pioneers in the prosecution of current and former employees, as well as others, using pre-emptive litigation, who threatened to file a legal action of extortion nature against the company's customers, which reads on the website.
Green filed a lawsuit on behalf of O'Reilly in 2004, when Andrea mcchris, a former producer of his show, told her to "buy a vibrator," the Times quoted a complaint saying: "when it sounds like he's masturbating and describing sexual fantasies involving her, he calls her. ".
Mackris received a $9 million settlement.
In September, 21st Century Fox reached a $1 settlement with former Fox News anchor Juliet Hudi.
The Times said 6 million.
According to The Times, prior to the settlement, O'Reilly's lawyer Frederick S.
Newman sent a letter to Hardy's lawyer warning that she would "face significant credibility issues" if she tried to file a lawsuit against O'Reilly ".
In a telephone interview in New York, Vladeck said: "In the past, Fox took a very aggressive position that they would scare people into not advocating legitimate claims . ".
"But it's clear that sometimes very aggressive defensive positions are wrong.
For Fox, the pendulum went too far.
"Looking forward, the Murdoch family will have to be careful not to alienate viewers who make O'Reilly the biggest winner of cable --TV news.
Fox's audience can see any internal action against O'Reilly as giving in to the kind of "political correctness" that he often roars ".
The network created more than $1 billion in profits for the company in 2016, highlighting the importance of O'Reilly in a large media group that has operations around the world.
"They need to find some way to fix these issues and have O'Reilly stay there because he's a cash cow," added Feldstein . ".
Ayers invented the formula, and as long as they follow it, they will continue to make money, although they don't have to be so disgusted with women in the workplace to produce a product that brings a huge income.
