SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 18 – With a legal filing
full of misspellings asking to
enjoin an election or its
results, a dozen constituents
of ousted New York City
Council member Andy King on
Friday asked a Federal judge
for a restraining order. It
was denied.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Valerie E. Caproni, in a
proceeding covered by Inner
City Press, asked how the
plaintiffs had standing.
(King's own lawsuit against
the City Council for ousting
him 48-2 for misconduct had
already failed).
The
plaintiffs' Queens-based
lawyer said these voters had a
right to pick their
representative. He said he has
already put 40 hours into the
case.
The
complaint, which referred to
Andy Young before the last
name was stricken to King,
asked for the "stooing" of the
election to replace King.
Judge
Caproni declined to issue a
preliminary injunction, and
gave the City defendants until
February 5 to answer or move
to dismiss the complaint.
The case is
Marchant et al v. De Blasio et
al., 20-cv-10544 (Caproni)
