The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is holding in abeyance requests for rehearing en banc its decisions staying Southern District Judge Shira Scheindlin’s liability and remedial opinions in the stop and frisk cases and removing her from the litigation. With an eye on possible settlement once Bill de Blasio, who has made clear his opposition to stop and frisk practices, is sworn in as mayor on Jan. 1, 2014, the Second Circuit said the efforts of plaintiffs and intervenors to seek a rehearing by the full court will be set aside for the time being.
The court also made the same ruling on other pending applications—including a bid by police unions to intervene and carry on the fight to undo Scheindlin’s rulings should de Blasio drop the appeal.
