From the CityRoom headline wrap-up:
A Brooklyn federal judge, Edward R. Korman, has recused himself from hearing an appeal on a lawsuit opposing the $4 billion Atlantic Yards project, after admitting in court that he once responded favorably to the much-debated plan through a promotional mailer. [New York Post]

The Gowanus Lounge, Bklink: Atlantic Yards Judge Off Case
Atlantic Yards Report reblogged:
"Though they didn't say so explicitly, plaintiffs in the Atlantic Yards eminent domain case had to be pleased to learn that U.S. District Judge Edward Korman, the most skeptical member of a three-judge panel who last October 9 heard the appeal after the case had been dismissed, recused himself from the case. Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn (DDDB), which organized the lawsuit and whose spokesman, Daniel Goldstein, is lead plaintiff, issued a press release yesterday stating that Korman had recused himself. Though no formal reason was stated, Korman did in court offhandedly mention that he'd received an Atlantic Yards mailer “some years ago” and responded in the affirmative."
