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 Edward R. Korman reversed a Food and Drug Administration decision, imposed on the agency by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denying over-the-counter access to a contraceptive drug. Judge Jack B. Weinstein remanded a case involving an autistic student for additional administrative findings as to whether the specialized public school selected by the New York City Department of Education met the standards of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Judge Dora L. Irizarry, largely denying the parties’ motions for summary judgment, found triable issues of fact that could establish the civil liability of defendant Crédit Lyonnais under the Antiterrorism Act of 1992. And Judge Frederic Block denied motions to dismiss civil claims against New York City brought by a criminal defendant exonerated after his lengthy incarceration.
