Plaintiffs in the New York City’s stop-and-frisk cases have urged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to remand the cases so settlement terms on reforming the police department can be reached.
In papers filed Friday, attorneys in Floyd v. City of New York, 13-3088 and Ligon v. City of New York, 13-3123, dispute the claims of five police unions that want the cases to stay in the Second Circuit. The unions claim Judge Shira Scheindlin’s liability and remedial findings were wrong and damaged the department’s ability to police the city.
