Southern District Judge Analisa Torres (See Profile) has set a quick schedule to decide motions by five police unions to intervene in the stop-and-frisk litigation.
Presiding over a 45-day remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit for purposes of completing settlement talks in Floyd v. City of New York, 08-cv-01034, Torres directed the unions, who had asked to intervene at the Second Circuit before that court stayed Judge Shira Scheindlin’s liability and remedial rulings in the cases, to submit papers by March 5, with briefing to be complete by March 14.
