STATE COURT CASES
CIVIL PROCEDURE — RULE 4:50-1

07-2-6660 Zuckerman v. Borough of Highland Park, App. Div. (per curiam) (6 pp.) In this appeal from an order denying plaintiff’s Rule 4:50-1 motion seeking to vacate two orders granting summary judgment in his civil rights action against, inter alia, the borough and several police officers, the panel says the trial court did not err in admitting evidence of plaintiff’s disorderly conduct conviction and using that conviction as a basis for denying him the right to re-litigate the underlying facts concerning the disorderly conduct leading to his arrest and because this issue was addressed on direct appeal from the grant of summary judgment, plaintiff is barred from collaterally seeking to re-litigate the issue via a Rule 4:50-1 motion.
