A Manhattan attorney who was unsuccessfully prosecuted for advising 10 nurses that they could quit their jobs at a Long Island nursing facility has joined the nurses in filing a federal civil rights suit against the operator of the facility and Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota.
The suit, Anilao v. Spota, 10-cv-00032, was filed in the Eastern District on Wednesday and claims that a March 2007 criminal indictment brought by Mr. Spota’s office violated the constitutional rights of attorney Felix Vinluan and his clients, including freedom of speech and due process.
