The stop-and-frisk cases put on hold pending appeal by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit have been assigned to Southern District Judge Analisa Torres, but solely for the purpose of implementing the circuit’s order. The Second Circuit on Thursday stayed Judge Shira Scheindlin’s liability finding in Floyd v. City of New York, stayed a second opinion in the related case of Ligon v. City of New York and stayed a remedies opinion applying to both cases that had included the appointment of a monitor for the New York City Police Department.
It then removed Scheindlin from the case for the appearance of partiality because of statements she made in public and in media interviews and because the judge raised the possibility in a prior stop-and-frisk case that plaintiffs could file a new lawsuit, (ultimately Floyd) that could be assigned to her under the related case doctrine.
