The Appellate Division, First Department, has declined to reconsider a decision it made two months ago when it refused to remove Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Charles Ramos from the civil fraud case of former AIG executives Maurice “Hank” Greenberg and Howard Smith. The defendants have claimed Ramos, in his pretrial rulings and courtroom comments, had revealed bias and sought his removal from People v. Greenberg, 401720/05.
After Ramos refused to recuse himself, the defendants appealed to the First Department. And after the First Department in February declined to remove Ramos, the defendants asked the court to reconsider. But in a brief order Tuesday, the court denied the motion for reargument and declined to grant leave to the Court of Appeals.
