The 2nd Circuit will review, before discovery can proceed, New York City's claims that it and contractors are immune from suit by workers who claim they contracted respiratory illnesses during the World Trade Center site cleanup.

But the appeals court stayed Hellerstein's denial of a city motion for an interlocutory appeal and agreed to consider the merits of the immunity issue.
