Eminent threat, not "imminent"
The NY Times, BROOKLYN: JUDGE DOES NOT BLOCK DEMOLITION FOR NOW:
After a lawyer for Forest City Ratner said the demolition was "not imminent," Justice Carol R. Edmead said she would not grant the restraining order before a full hearing - scheduled for Feb. 14 - on whether the planned demolition is legal.
NY Daily News, Judge won't stop Ratner wrecking ball:
Ratner officials charge the buildings are unsafe, but opponents are demanding an independent evaluation. They also charge a lawyer who used to represent Ratner now represents the Empire State Development Corp., and signed off on the demolition.
