PRACTICE PAPERS
Civil Rights

Thursday, October 15, 2009
Defendants' motion for summary judgment is denied since there are genuine issues regarding the availability of the inmate grievance remedy to plaintiff, who is deaf, and the adequacy of the interpreter and TTY services.
SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT
Muhammad v. Department of Corrections
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
Because plaintiff's evidence demonstrates that he was subjected to unconstitutional conditions of confinement, the Department of Correction's sovereign immunity defense is insufficient to defeat plaintiff's ADA claim.
Nunez v. Pachman
Thursday, September 3, 2009
Even if the state recognizes a privacy interest in an expunged criminal record, such an interest is not cognizable under the federal Constitution.
Geod Corporation v. New Jersey Transit Corporation
Wednesday, September 2, 2009
Summary judgment is inappropriate as to the constitutionality of New Jersey Transit's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program where a genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether "Iraqi" is within NJT's defined DBE groups and whether discrimination exists for Iraqis.
Jama v. Esmor Correctional Services, Inc.
Monday, August 17, 2009
The District Court's "degree of success inquiry" under sect 1988 was based on an impermissible reconstruction of the jury verdict, and the resulting order awarding an attorney's fee cannot stand.
Hurdleston v. New Century Financial Services Inc.
Wednesday, July 1, 2009
While plaintiff's mental deficiencies should have prevented the original entry of the default judgment in the underlying collection action, because there was no actual deprivation of property, his due process rights were not violated.
