This column reports on several significant, representative decisions handed down recently in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Judge Jack B. Weinstein declined to dismiss claims of housing discrimination related to the requirement that Latino tenants of rent-stabilized apartments produce “proof of citizenship.” Judge Raymond J. Dearie found that plaintiff had failed to make a valid formal or informal refund claim within the statute of limitations. And Judge Weinstein stated the reasons for a probationary sentence with financial restitution.
