Many, many updates to the Pending Second Circuit Cases page.
Some notes. First, I am going to revamp the update notations. Next to each case, I will simply write the date of the latest update. I will start doing that the next time I update a case.
Second, I wanted to point out that I removed a case from the page. It's this case:
Barney v. Conway
- Lower Ct. Info: 03-CV-0758, 2010 WL 3081335 (WDNY Aug. 6, 2010) (VEB)
- Status: Judgment Entered 8/12/10
- In Circuit: Habeas Grant
- Issues:(1) judicial bias/misconduct; (2) persistent felony offender sentencing violates Apprendi
It's being removed because the State did not file a notice of appeal. Thus, the habeas grant has been locked in. This is the case where the sentencing judge sent the ex parte letter to the DA's office expressing her disappointment over the verdict and intimating that she had already decided to sentence him as a persistent before the hearing even took place. It was pretty shocking. Not completely surprising that the State decided not to appeal this one.
