New York City has moved to withdraw its appeal of stop-and-frisk litigation on the heels of a ruling that refused to let police unions intervene (See Motion).

The city filed papers Tuesday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, asking to voluntarily dismiss with prejudice the appeals it initiated last year regarding rulings in Floyd v. City of New York, 08-cv-1034, and Ligon v. City of New York, 12-cv-2274.
