ICYMI the biggest news of the week was buried in Tuesday's @StreetsblogNYC article on @NYC_DOT regulatory delays. I'm thrilled to announce I've joined the law practice of safe-streets legal legend Adam White! Please reach out for all your bike and pedestrian litigation needs.

Today a judge ordered (again) that the former BK Dems chair and her allies need to respect the courts and stop the charade of operating under rules that were repeatedly struck down. He also ordered they can't keep spending party funds to drag out their losing legal fight. 1/3
Judge has signed Velazquez's TRO against the KCDCC Exec Cmte, restraining Lucas, et al from - giving effect to Oct 25 meeting - allowing Ken Farrell to act as treasurer - using party funds - holding Oct 27 meeting - changing party rules - destroying records Hearing on Oct 29

A roundabout — or, rather: a traffic diverter — grows in Queens.

Attorneys for Julio Pena have filed oppo. to Lucas/Rodneyse's motions to intervene and remove Chair Velazquez's lawyers Main arg is if the Oct 4 event wasn't an exec cmte meeting, Nikki Lucas wasn't elected, and if it was, it violated the TRO Everyones back in court today at 10

Court has signed Abrams Fensterman's OSC asking to enjoin Chair Velazquez and her attorneys from interfering with their appeal, hearing set for Tue, same as the disqual hearing No TRO granted, and Jsc. Sweeney took the extra step of clarifying there is no TRO in a separate order

The Marble Hill neighborhood of MANHATTAN!
At around 4pm today, there was a shooting involving federal law enforcement agents in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx. The NYPD was not involved in the incident and was not on scene at the time of the shooting. The individual who was shot is at a nearby hospital and is currently conscious and receiving medical attention.

The legal battle over who, exactly, is in charge of the Brooklyn Democratic Party cannot continue until a judge decides which lawyers are authorized to represent the party in court: brooklynpaper.com/brooklyn-d…

Please read the next paragraph, @AMBichotte. The critical language of the TRO is in effect "pending the hearing and determination" of the OSC. The hearing was today, but there has not yet been a determination.

Unless their arguments are much better than their drafting, I would not bet on the Bichotte/Lucas attorneys to snap their losing streak.
Hearing on Genovesi's motion to disqualify @NydiaVelazquez 's lawyers, Otano/Torres/Chachere, set for next Tuesday We should get a decision afterwards on who represents @bkdems: the lawyers chosen by Cmte Chair Velazquez, or the ones chosen by Nikki Lucas

So apparently she is going with “having to obey a court order is the same as slavery.” Excited to see how this turns out.
I just got served with a contempt order signed by a Judge for invoking my constitutional rights. Punished for the 5th. Ignored for the 14th. Erased for the 13th #Justice is on Life Support—and somebody’s pulling the plug. #haters #FreedomToAssemble #FreedomOfAssociation

In the ongoing Bk Dems kerfuffle, the judge has signed the OSC to intervene by Lucas and Bichotte (1 of 3 OSCs filed today) and consolidated that hearing with tomorrow's existing hearing on @JulioPenaNY's motion to void the new rules and enjoin the exec comm meeting.

One of the AF filings in the @bkdems lawsuit repeatedly cites "Remedies for Unauthorized Injunction Consent by County Committee Chairwoman in New York" I am unable to locate this source, is this an AI drafting artifact?

It is crazy though that they are purporting to represent Velasquez in any capacity after she has has fired them and told them six different ways to keep her name out of their mouth. Above and beyond everything else, that seems like a great way to get bar sanctions.
