A federal judge is giving the American Italian Women for Greater New Haven another opportunity to amend its complaint against New Haven for its decision to remove a statue of Christopher Columbus from Wooster Square.

In an order filed Jan. 5 in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, Judge Janet C. Hall—for a second time—granted New Haven’s motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s complaint. Hall is giving the AIW, a nonprofit organization known for scholarship, charitable, and social events, another chance to show that it had a personal stake in the controversy.
