The New York State Supreme Court dismissed yet another lawsuit that seeks to stop Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project from being built in Brooklyn.

On Friday, Hon. Joan Madden released her 71-page decision that dismissed the petitioners’ motion and denied an injunction that sought to stop the $4 billion project from continuing. The Atlantic Yards project, which has been described as the largest single-design project in the city’s history, and which is slated to bring the New Jersey Nets professional basketball team to Brooklyn, is currently in the demolition phase of construction.
