News roundup (June 3, 2021).

Posted on 2021-06-032021-06-05

It’s time for another Court of Appeals news roundup. Once again, we’ve relied on our own research to gather the sources this week but would welcome any suggestions that you might have. Please email us any ideas (twentyeagle@twentyeagle.com).

Over the past two weeks, press outlets have extensively covered Governor Cuomo’s nominations of Hon. Madeline Singas and Hon. Anthony Cannataro to fill the vacancies created by Judge Feinman’s and Judge Stein’s retirements. City & State, for example, gives a primer on each nominee, offering “3 things to know” about Singas and Cannataro. The New York Law Journal reports that some New York Senators have already expressed support for Singas. At the National Review, Dan McLaughlin notes that, under the New York Constitution, Signas and Cannataro would serve as jurors in the impeachment trial if Cuomo is impeached. Additional coverage can be found at WKSG.org and WXXI News.

Also receiving extensive coverage was the Court’s denial of leave to appeal in a case challenging the construction of four towers on Manhattan’s Lower East side. At the Real Deal, Keith Larsen provides an overview of the litigation. The denial of leave was also covered by Crain’s New York Business, The Lo-Down, and Bisnow.

Several outlets also reported on the Court’s decision in Matter of West 58th Street Coalition, Inc. v. City of New York. At the New York Daily News, Molly Crane-Newman characterized the decision as allowing a “homeless shelter to open smack-bang in the middle of NYC’s ‘Billionaire’s Row.'” Additional coverage came from the Courthouse News Service, the Phnomh Penh Post, The Architect’s Newspaper, and the Jamaica Observer.

The New York Law Journal reported on People v. Mabry, which invalidated a warrantless search of the defendant’s backpack.

The New York Law Journal also rounded up opinions from ethics experts on whether Chief Judge DiFiore should have recused herself in Wells Fargo v. Ferrato and Vargas v. Deutsche Bank, cases involving lawyers from Greenberg Traurig, the firm representing Di Fiore in a case concerning pandemic-related cuts to the judiciary budget.
