The Village of Pomona in Rockland County was ordered to pay $42,940 in attorney fees based on a federal judge’s finding last year that two village officials knowingly destroyed evidence in a zoning and land-use case.
The fee award followed Southern District Judge Kenneth Karas‘ finding that Pomona Mayor Brett Yagel and former village trustee Rita Louie were guilty of spoliation of evidence for destroying a Facebook page and related materials germane to the underlying case, Congregation Rabbinical College of Tartikov v. Village of Pomona, 7:07-cv-6304.
