ALBANY – The union representing New York state troopers urged a judge Friday not to release sealed documents about the 1971 riot and retaking of Attica state prison in western New York.

The troopers’ Police Benevolent Association opposed Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s request to open remaining volumes of the 1975 Meyer Commission Report (NYLJ, Oct. 29, 2013). State Supreme Court Justice Patrick NeMoyer (See Profile) in Buffalo set a Jan. 17 deadline for written submissions.
