Among the decisions handed down in March and April in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York were decisions by Judge William H. Pauley III and Judge Whitman Knapp on issues of attorney disqualification.
Judge Victor Marrero filed a decision dismissing federal claims, including under the Americans with Disabilities Act, applying the Rooker-Feldman doctrine and holding that the claims were barred by a prior state court judgment, and Magistrate Judge Frank Maas granted a stay pending appeal without requiring a full supersedeas bond. In other cases, Judge Laura Taylor Swain sanctioned plaintiff and her attorney because their lawsuit was both frivolous and motivated by improper purpose, and Judge Lawrence M. McKenna remanded an action to state court rejecting the assertion that non-diverse parties had been fraudulently joined.
