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 released a defendant from incarceration pending Supreme Court review of his petition for certiorari, where Weinstein had granted habeas relief, the Second Circuit had reversed, and there were compelling medical reasons requiring defendant’s presence to help his wife. Judge I. Leo Glasser declined to dismiss claims against the City of New York, Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes and others for malicious prosecution and related misconduct. And Judge Pamela K. Chen dealt with motions to dismiss a variety of §1983 claims by a state court criminal defendant.
