Eminent Domain Hearing Time Change
From Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn:
Federal Eminent Domain Case Back in Court Friday
PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGEThe eminent domain hearing was scheduled for Friday at 11 AM.
That time was just changed by the court to 2pm. Please make a note of it if you plan on attending.
Attorneys representing the 13 plaintiffs in the "Atlantic Yards" eminent domain case will be back in court this Friday, arguing that Goldstein et al vs. Pataki et al should be heard in Federal court rather than at the State level, as Magistrate Judge Robert Levy recommended in a report issued last month. We encourage you all to come out to demonstrate to the Court how much the community cares about this case and its outcome.
Oral arguments are scheduled as follows:
Friday, March 30th, at 2:00 pm* United States District Court. Eastern District of New York. 225 Cadman Plaza East. Courtroom 4D
* Court dates can change frequently. We will notify you if the hearing is postponed.
We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes early if you plan to attend the hearing. Please be advised that cell phones, cameras and recording devices are not permitted in the courtroom, and will have to be checked in the lobby. As always, decorum is of the greatest importance inside the courthouse.
We sincerely hope that you will attend Friday's hearing, and show Judge Garaufis through your presence that our community cares passionately about the abuse of eminent domain.
