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 declined to dismiss the main claims of a U.S. citizen unjustly detained as an alien for over two years by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Judge Dora L. Irizarry granted the government’s application to admit at a criminal trial certain Rule 404(b) evidence relating to defendant’s recent prior conviction. Judge Sandra J. Feuerstein sustained a complaint alleging violations of the Equal Pay Act. And Judge I. Leo Glasser rejected the government’s application for a criminal forfeiture money judgment where defendant himself got no financial benefit from the crime.
