In a major victory for New York City, a First Department panel yesterday held that the "sunset" date of a historic agreement requiring the city to provide services to mentally ill inmates after they are released from jail came before the plaintiffs moved for injunctive relief in May 2009. "Because the settlement was already terminated by that time, the court was left without jurisdiction to rule on the application," Justice David B. Saxe wrote for the court.

In a major victory for New York City, a state appeals panel yesterday held that the court no longer has jurisdiction to enforce a historic agreement requiring the city to provide services to mentally ill inmates after they are released from jail.
At issue was whether the lower court had the authority to rule on a preliminary injunction motion made last year by the plaintiffs, a group of inmates from city jails, to continue enforcing the 2003 settlement in Brad H. v. City of New York.
