Court System Wins Bid To Expedite Pay Appeal
The New York Law Journal by Daniel Wise - NEWS IN BRIEF - August 11, 2009
The New York court system last week won a motion to expedite an appeal that had been filed by the other two branches of government focusing on the portion of Supreme Court Justice Edward H. Lehner's ruling that the failure to give the state's 1,300 judges a pay raise in 10 years violates the separation of powers doctrine (NYLJ, June 16).
In an unsigned order, a unanimous panel of the Appellate Division, First Department, directed that briefing be completed by Sept. 3. In Chief Judge v. Governor, 400763/08, the court system is seeking to appeal directly to the Court of Appeals the two theories rejected by Justice Lehner. A motion is pending before the Court. Meanwhile, the high court has agreed to hear two other pay-related suits, Larabee v. Governor, 2009 WL 1652845, and Maron v. Silver, 58 AD3d 102, and arguments are expected in November. In Larabee, a suit brought by four individual judges, the First Department affirmed a ruling by Justice Lehner that also ordered a pay raise, finding a separation-of-powers violation (NYLJ, June 3). In Maron, the Third Department rejected claims brought by three other judges (NYLJ, Nov. 14, 2008). — Daniel Wise
This is by far the best- and most accurate- blog title I've seen to date. The New York court system should be ashamed of themselves.
ReplyDeleteI'm still laughing over, "Attorney gives new meaning to oral arguement"
what a joke the judge decides to give himself and the rest of the clowns pay raises.
ReplyDeleteEveryone that works at McDonalds/Burger King should just
decide to give themselves a pay raise.
It just proves that when thier is a "conflict of intrest" it does not matter. All that matters is how much money they get.
No judge should have ruled on the case because they personally had intrest in the outcome
I think certain judges should be made to wear clown outfits. Anyone second this?
ReplyDeleteTo the above writer @ 12:23..I second, third, fourth, and fifth that!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHear Yee, Hear Yee...Clown outfits for ALL THE JUDGES...because they've become the laughing stock of our Court System!!!!
ReplyDeleteExcuse me.
ReplyDeleteThe Court of Appeals CANNOT hear this case because the issue "sought to be appealed from does not finally determine the action within the meaning of the Constitution."
The Court of Appeals uses this excuse, without any further explaination to get rid of most of the appeals made to it. They don't even know what it means, but just throw it out there so they don't have to do any actual work.
But the fact is that the have no authority to hear a case until it has been through the legally and constitutionally mandated appeals process.
I'm still laughing of the NY Post's story:

New York Post Sends In the Clown
By JEREMY W. PETERS
The New York Post made the phrase “media circus” literal when it hired a clown to roam the corridors of the New York State Capitol.
Sending in the clown, a playful attempt by The Post to satirize the political power struggle that paralyzed the government for more than a month, was part of several days of circus-themed coverage in June that offered readers some of the paper’s more creative headline writing and photo illustrations. (Think clown faces superimposed on senators’ bodies and headlines that used words like “bozo” liberally.)
But the clown, Connie Adams, was real. Ms. Adams, a retired New York City high school physical education teacher who lives in Yonkers, typically performs at children’s birthday parties and corporate picnics. In an interview, Ms. Adams said that she almost told The Post no when she was asked to travel to Albany for a day so a photographer could take pictures of her standing next to politicians.
She was reluctant to cancel her standing Wednesday night gig at a local Burger King and make the two-and-a-half-hour drive to the capital. But she said she was grateful for her 15 minutes of fame, which earned her a mention on National Public Radio, as well as numerous color photos in The Post and a video on its Web site.
“I’m the envy of all the clowns,” Ms. Adams said with a laugh, adding that people had written to her through her Web site, sunnytheclown.net, asking her to send them autographed copies of the June 11 edition of The Post, which featured a picture of her being ordered out of the Senate lobby by a sergeant at arms.
She said the publicity had not generated any new business for her. But she is recognized more frequently. On a recent trip to the grocery store, she said she caught a stranger’s eye. She had just finished a gig and was still wearing her clown attire.
“I don’t generally like to go out when I’m in clown,” she said. “You have to stay in character, and it’s really hard. But some guy turns to me and says: ‘Sunny the Clown! I just saw you in the paper!’ ”
But she was not responsible for the Post op-ed that appeared under the byline “Sunny the Clown.”
“Oh, I didn’t write that,” she said, sounding somewhat disappointed. The writing was left to a reporter in New York, she said, who read a draft of the article to Sunny before it went to print.
“I thought it was pretty funny,” she said. “My friends did, too. And I had to say, ‘It wasn’t me, O.K.?’ ”

------Now the real clowns need to put on their black robes!
it is true
ReplyDeletethey are jokers jesters and
child molesters the New York Court System
that should be the name of the book!
They are clowns only in the sense that the "Joker" is a clown. NY Judges are evil, perverted swine, whose intentions are only their self aggrandizement and power. Where is Batman when we need him. So, Batman can have each of these judges hanging by a single rope? NY Judges are evil.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the clown costums also.
ReplyDeleteBy the way they get money for the dress they wear now.
I was told that if they do not buy the new drees they get to pocket the $$$
Do not forget the floppy shoes.
One of the black robed clowns wears just his drawers and his cowbot boots...really....a quick entry for his latest willing clerk!
