The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Monday revived a lawsuit that claimed cameras placed in a Staten Island jail conference rooms violates attorney-client privilege protected under a 1999 settlement agreement.
The panel of Circuit Judges Rosemary Pooler, Raymond Lohier Jr. and Susan Carney remanded the case back to U.S. District Judge George Daniels of the Southern District of New York. The panel found Daniels had failed to analyze properly the terms of the agreement as it relates to Sixth Amendment concerns over conduct that chills detainees’ communication with counsel.
