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 Jack B. Weinstein explained the reasons for sentencing a defendant to time served (one month) for not registering as a sex offender, 18 U.S.C. §2250. Magistrate Judge Gary R. Brown declined to enjoin advertisements by either plaintiff Cablevision or defendant Verizon, where the two competing providers of Wi-Fi services had each sought to stop allegedly false claims by the other.
Judge Weinstein also upheld a jury verdict finding discrimination (and retaliation) by UPS related to an employee’s sexual orientation. And Judge I. Leo Glasser denied a motion to dismiss a §1983 complaint for false arrest.
