The Southern District of New York is attempting to streamline the settlement of civil rights claims against the New York City Police Department.
Effective Aug. 1, new procedures will be in place for cases where the plaintiff is alleging excessive force, false arrest or malicious prosecution by the police under 42 U.S.C. §1983. The goal is to encourage and in some situations mandate, mediation or settlement talks before magistrates to resolve civil rights cases.
