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, constrained to sentence defendant to a mandatory five-year minimum imprisonment, granted a continuation of bail pending the scheduled date of defendant’s self-surrender to the designated place of incarceration. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein denied a government application for information kept by cell phone providers. Judge Joanna Seybert imposed sanctions for bad-faith litigation. And Judge Arthur D. Spatt denied a motion for leave to file an interlocutory appeal from a bankruptcy court decision.
