Following up on the Notice of Appeal in our federal civil rights lawsuit against New Your City filed last month, the next set of required preliminary papers has been filed.
Our Pre-Argument Statement (Form C) is a required filing that includes Addendum A and B which lay out the basics of the case, with a “Description of the Nature of the Action” and “Issues to be Raised on Appeal.” This provides the foundation upon which the actual appeal brief of District Court Judge Katherine B. Forrest’s tortured 35-page decision in the case will rest.
Actual briefs in the case will be filed with the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit within several months.
