A Manhattan federal judge on Friday refused to temporarily block the city’s release of law enforcement disciplinary records following the repeal of New York’s police secrecy law, rejecting claims that the move would endanger officer safety and damage their future job prospects.

The ruling, from U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla of the Southern District of New York, allowed New York City’s new transparency law to go into nearly full effect, though the decision was stayed until Monday afternoon to allow a coalition of law enforcement unions to file an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
