City Attorney Sanctioned For Excessive Objections

A New York City Law depart-ment attorney has been sanc-tioned for using heavy-handed objections while deposing a police officer, at times prevent-ing the plaintiff’s attorney from getting his questions answered.

objections from assistant corporation counsel Amatullah Booth—more than 600 total—appeared on 84 percent of the transcript of the eight-hour deposition of New York City Police officer John essig, east-ern district Magistrate Judge Cheryl Pollak wrote Friday in her order imposing sanctions on Booth.

essig is part of a group of defendants, which includes New York City, whom plaintiff Hec-tor Cordero alleges wrongfully arrested him in 2014 for charges that were eventually dropped.

during a september 2016 deposition in Cordero’s subse-quent civil rights suit, Booth told essig at least 20 times not to answer questions from Gabriel Harvis, Cordero’s attorney and a name partner at Harvis & Fett.

Courts in the U.s. Court of Appeals for the second Circuit courts have declined to impose sanctions for voluminous or unwarranted objections, Pollak noted. But she said Booth failed to limit her objections to “objec-tion as to form” and threatened to leave the deposition several times, which unnecessarily lengthened the proceedings.

“the witness comes to the deposition to testify, not to indulge in a parody of Charlie McCarthy, with lawyers coach-ing or bending the witness’s words to mold a legally con-venient record,” Pollak said, quoting the southern district’s 2011 holding in Abu Dhabi Com-mercial Bank v. Morgan Stanley, 08-cv-750.

the judge ordered Booth to pay for the videotaped deposi-tion. “the costs are not unsub-stantial,” Harvis said, though he could not provide an exact figure.

the Law department will “review the decision and respond accordingly,” spokes-man Nicholas Paolucci said. “We take quite seriously any finding that calls into question whether

one of our lawyers engaged in sanctionable conduct.”

Judges to Hear Debate Over Medically Assisted Suicide of the DyingBY JOEL STASHENKOALBANY

NeW YorK’s highest court will hear arguments this month over whether state statutes and its constitution allow physicians to legally prescribe medications to help terminally ill, mentally com-petent people end their own lives.

the action, Myers v. Schneider-man, 77, is being brought by three individuals who say they mayneed end-of-life medical assistance, as well as five physicians and end of Life Choices New York. the group is the New York affiliate of the end of Life Liberty Project, a seattle, Washington-based organization that advocates for palliative care, pain management and aid in dying for the terminally ill.

the Court of Appeals has set aside 30 minutes on May 30 to hear oral arguments in the case in Albany.

According to a survey in from the National Conference of state Legislatures in early May, five states have legalized a role for phy-sicians to aid in patient suicides -- oregon, Colorado, Washington, California and Vermont -- either through voter-approved referen-dums or state laws. in addition, a court ruling protects Montana phy-sicians who assist dying patients from prosecution.

two lower courts have ruled against the plaintiffs, an Appellate division, First department, panel (NYLJ, May 4, 2016) and acting Manhattan supreme Court Justice Joan Kenney (NYLJ, oct. 21, 2015).

Last year’s First department rul-ing held that New York’s application of criminal penalties to anyone who assists a suicide does not violate due process or equal protection rights under the U.s. Constitution. the ruling was largely based on a 1997 U.s. supreme Court ruling, Vacco v. Quill, 521 U.s. 793, which expressly upheld the constitutional-ity of New York’s laws against pro-viding assistance to others’ suicides.

the plaintiffs are arguing that times have changed since the Vac-co decision, and so have society’s attitudes toward allowing termi-nally ill people avoid unnecessary suffering at the ends of their lives.

“since that ruling (Vacco), the supreme Court has recognized that evolving societal views influence the content of fundamental rights,” the plaintiffs argue in their brief.

the plaintiffs also contend that the Court of Appeals should find that the anti-assisted suicide laws violate the due process and equal protection rights that New York’s state constitution affords citizens of New York, separately from the U.s. supreme Court’s analysis of the equal protection and due pro-cess clauses under the U.s. consti-tution in the Vacco case.

“New York has long recognized a broad fundamental right to self-determination with respect to one’s body and to control the course of one’s medical treatment,” the plaintiffs argued. “this due pro-cess right encompasses a patient’s right to choose aid-in-dying, just as it encompasses a patient’s right to choose other end-of-life options.”

WHoeVer replaces Joseph Ponte as the head of New York City’s jail system should be committed to closing the troubled rikers island jail complex and reducing violence there until it does, criminal justice advocates say.

“As long as rikers exists, we absolutely have to have leader-ship and commitment to ending so much of the inhumanity and the brutality,” said Jonathan Lippman, who chaired the commission that studied conditions at rikers and recommended its closure. “You need strong management. there is no excuse in any jail facility to have the kinds of things go on that have gone on at rikers.”

Ponte announced his retirement Friday as commissioner of the department of Correction, follow-ing reports of ongoing violence at rikers—despite efforts to improve conditions there— and weeks of criticism for alleged ethical lapses.

Ponte came under fire after the city’s department of investigation released a report last month saying he spent 90 days out of state last year in his department sUV. About a third of those days away were during the workweek.

City officials generally aren’t allowed to use their taxpayer-funded vehicles for personal trips out of the region, the report said. Ponte, who was appointed commis-sioner in 2014, promised to repay the city.

the report also found other officials at the agency used their vehicles for trips to Cape Cod, the Hamptons and other destinations.

A subsequent report accused corrections officials of using inter-nal affairs officers to eavesdrop on conversations between depart-ment of investigation investigators and inmate informants at the jail.

Violence, mismanagement and corruption have been the subject of intense scrutiny by the media and federal prosecutors in recent years, and has cost the city millions of dollars to settle civil

US Attorneys, Defense Bar Criticize Sessions Directive to Prosecutors

BY ANDREW DENNEY

A CoMPUter scientist who in 2010 received a $625 million jury award in a patent infringement dispute with Apple inc. is now turning his sights on another major silicon Valley play-er: Facebook, which he said ripped off a concept he invented for fea-tures like timeline and News Feed.

david Gelernter, a Yale Uni-versity computer scientist and founder of software company Mir-ror Worlds technologies, claims he co-developed inventions for a “document stream operating sys-

tem and method” in the 1990s that now serves as the basis of several of Facebook’s features.

Gelernter’s system, which is spelled out in three separate pat-ents, was intended to organize

users’ files in time-based streams rather than by the traditional folder and directory structure.

While based in silicon Valley, Facebook has had an engineering facility at 770 Broadway in Man-hattan since 2012. the company declined to comment on the com-plaint.

Gelernter is considered a pio-neer in his field; he developed tech-nologies in the 1980s that helped lay the foundation for what we now know as “cloud computing” and his book “Mirror Worlds,” published in 1991, he described now-ubiquitous features of digital life such as web-

sites, streaming video and tablet computers.

Gelernter is also known for sur-viving a car bomb attack by the-odore Kaczynski—better known as the “Unabomber”—and, more recently, being mentioned as a potential science adviser to Presi-dent donald trump.

Mirror Worlds is represented in Mirror Worlds v. Facebook, 17-cv-3473, by Amster, rothstein & eben-stein partner Charles Macedo in New York; and Los Angeles-based attorneys Marc Fenster, Benjamin Wang and Arka Chatterjee of russ August & Kabat.

ForMer U.s. attorneys and crimi-nal defense lawyers on Friday criti-cized a new department of Justice directive instructing federal pros-ecutors to pursue the most serious charges that they can prove.

the new policy, outlined Wednesday in a one-and-a-half page memo from U.s. Attorney General Jeff sessions, would strip prosecu-tors of the discretion afforded them under the obama administration and lead to longer sentences and more defendants behind bars, the attorneys said.

“this Attorney General has taken away the discretion of pro-fessional prosecutors to determine what sentence serves justice in any given case,” Barry J. Pollack, presi-dent of the National Association of Criminal defense Lawyers, said in a statement. “instead, prosecu-tors are now required in every case mindlessly to seek the maximum possible penalty.

According to the memo, pros-ecutors should “charge and pursue the most serious, readily provable offenses,” and any deviation from a strict application of the charging policy would need to be document-ed and approved by a U.s. attorney

or assistant attorney general. the deputy attorney general will be tasked with overseeing and clari-fying the new policy, according to the document.

the most serious offenses, ses-sions said, are those that carry the “most substantial” guideline sentences, including mandatory minimums.

“this policy affirms our responsi-bility to enforce the law, is moral and just, and produces efficiency,” ses-sions wrote. “this policy fully utiliz-es the tools Congress has given us.”

the move was widely seen as an unraveling of the August 2013 “Holder memo,” in which

With Ponte’s Exit, Advocates Say Rikers Reforms Must Continue

NYC Tax Boutique Opens Office in Washington, DC

two tax experts with high-pro-file government and private practice experience have joined New York boutique Kostelanetz & Fink and will launch the firm’s new Washington, d.C., office.

“We hope to grow,” said part-ner Caroline Ciraolo, who came to Kostelanetz & Fink this month after leading the U.s. depart-ment of Justice’s tax division during the final two years of the obama administration. Ciraolo had earlier chaired the tax con-troversy and litigation group at Baltimore’s rosenberg Martin Greenberg.

Joining Ciraolo in the firm’s new d.C. office is Jay Nanavati, a former assistant chief of the tax division’s Criminal enforcement section who spent the past five years as a partner at Baker & Hostetler.

“We are starting a new office sort of from scratch, but with the support of existing firm,” Nanavati said.

the office will be Kostelan-etz & Fink’s first outpost out-side New York. the 60-year-old firm, which has 22-lawyers and specializes in tax matters, white-collar defense and litigation, had always sought to open a d.C. branch and jumped at the chance to hire Ciraolo and Nanavati, said managing partner Bryan skarlatos.

Ciraolo “knocked it out of the park,” at the Justice depart-ment, skarlatos said, citing the tax division’s swiss Bank Pro-gram, which held 80 swiss finan-cial institutions accountable for facilitating tax evasion by U.s. accountholders. the agency also cracked down on unpaid payroll taxes under Ciraolo’s tenure, he said.

For Ciraolo, some resettle-ment issues remain with her return to private practice. Her new firm still hasn’t secured office space in the capital, and she referred to the government as “we” before catching herself. “it’s hard to break,” she said about the habit.

WALTER “Chet” Little, a real estate and banking partner at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings who joined the firm’s Tampa office last sum-mer, has been hit with criminal insider trading charges by federal prosecutors in New York.

Little, 43, and his alleged busi-ness associate Andrew Berke, 49, are accused of using nonpublic information to make $1 million in illicit profits through options and stock trading, according to a statement and 26-page complaint released late Thursday by the Southern District U.S. Attorney’s office. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also has filed a parallel civil case against both defendants.

The government’s case against Little, who did not respond to a request for comment on the charg-es, highlights the potential perils of a robust market for lateral law firm partner hiring. The accusa-tions stem from Little’s time at Foley & Lardner, which he left in July 2016 to join Bradley Arant. His new firm touted Little’s real estate and finance credentials in a press release at the time.

“We are thrilled that Chet has decided to join Bradley,” said the firm’s board chairman and manag-ing partner, Beau Grenier, in the 2016 announcement. (The Birming-ham, Alabama-based regional firm, formed via a merger in late 2008, opened in Tampa two years ago after acquiring a local firm. Bradley Arant sought to re-brand itself a year ago as Bradley.)

Grenier did not respond to a request for comment. But in a statement provided by a Bradley Arant spokeswoman, he said that his firm had just learned of Little’s Thursday morning arrest in Florida and the subsequent insider trad-ing charges leveled against Little.

“Prior to today, Bradley was unaware of any investigation or other facts regarding this mat-ter,” Grenier said in his statement. “Bradley is deeply committed to upholding and exceeding the high-est ethical standards and profes-sional conduct. Mr. Little is no longer with our firm as of today.”

Daniel Farrell, a spokesman for Foley & Lardner, said in a separate statement that upon learning of trading activity involving a firm

lawyer in June 2016, it commenced an internal investigation.

“During that review, it was determined that firm policies were violated, which led us to immedi-ately take action,” Farrell said. “As a result, the partner is no longer at the firm. We also reported our findings to the relevant authorities and cooperated fully with them throughout their investigation.”

Farrell said that Foley & Lard-ner takes the insider trading allegations leveled against Little “very seriously,” and noted that the firm has “zero tolerance” for actions that violate its core values and the trust clients place in the firm. “We will continue to hold all of our people to the highest stan-

dards of professional and ethical conduct,” he added.

The Foley & Lardner spokes-man did not say whether the firm warned Bradley Arant about the circumstances surrounding Little’s departure. At the time, no crimi-nal or civil charges were pending against Little or Berke. (The SEC, in its 30-page civil complaint, iden-tified Berke as Little’s neighbor.)

Todd Foster and Natalia Silver with the Todd Foster Law Group in Tampa are representing Little. In an email, Foster said that he was evaluating the charges and allega-tions against his client.

“Mr. Little maintains his inno-cence,” Foster said.

Caroline Mehta, a Washington, D.C.-based litigation partner at Zuckerman Spaeder, is advising Berke in his criminal case. She did not respond to a request for comment.

The criminal complaint against Berke and Little states that between February 2015 and May 2016, Little used Foley & Lardner’s internal document management

systems to obtain nonpublic information on at least seven firm clients: Douglas Dynamics Inc., Hanger Inc., Harley-Davidson Inc., Magnetek Inc., Oshkosh Corp., Pentair plc and Whiting Petroleum Corp. (Several of those companies are based in Wisconsin and long-time clients of Foley & Lardner, which has its roots in Milwaukee.)

While Little did not work for those clients, he made more than $320,000 in illicit profits by trading on inside information that he obtained from Foley & Lardner about future earnings reports and other transactions for those companies, according to the government’s case. Lit-tle also allegedly passed such information to Berke, who lived next door to him in the Tampa suburb of Apollo Beach, Florida. Prosecutors claim that Berke earned roughly $660,000 from his stock sales and trades. (The SEC puts Berke and Little’s haul at $640,651 and $363,797, respec-tively, while federal prosecutors claim it was $668,537 for Berke and $327,252 for Little.)

By Thursday evening, Bradley Arant had taken down from its website Little’s biography page and the press release announc-ing his hire last year.

Following the arrest earlier this year of a now former Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld partner, Law Journal affiliate The American Law-yer has reported on how several large firm lateral hires have run afoul of the law.

In March, Arent Fox partner Robert Schulman was convicted on insider trading charges in New York. Schulman, who was on a leave of absence from Arent Fox, quickly had his biography page taken down from the firm’s web-site. Schulman joined Arent Fox in 2015 from Hunton & Williams.

Steven Metro, an attorney and former M&A clerk at Simp-son Thacher & Bartlett in New York, was also once implicated in an insider trading scheme. He pleaded guilty in late 2015 and was sentenced last September to 46 months in federal prison. Metro, 43, is currently incarcer-ated at a high-security facility in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. He is due to be released in May 2020.

CFPB Finds Both Challenges, Support From Trump’s Justice Department by Marcia Coyle »6

Walter “Chet” Little

rights suits from former inmates and their families.

Ponte attempted to fix the prob-lems. Under his direction, New York City became the first large jail system to ban the use of solitary confinement for inmates under the age of 22. Mental health and edu-cation programs were expanded. A 2015 settlement of civil litiga-tion over pervasive brutality led to the installation of a monitor, thousands of surveillance cam-eras and stricter policies on use of force.

But problems at Rikers remain: a report by the federal monitor last month found that guards continue to use excessive force at an alarm-ing rate.

NYCLU Executive Director, Don-na Lieberman credited Ponte for “sweeping and important reforms” at Rikers, including rehabilitation and educational programs. “But Rikers remains beyond repair and needs to be shut down,” she said. “And the serious injustices built into our justice system, like the failure to guarantee a speedy trial and pre-trial discovery, need to be addressed.”

Lippman led the Independent Commission on New York City Criminal Justice and Incarcera-tion Reform, which released a 146-page report in March rec-

ommended closing down Rik-ers and establishing local jail facilities in each of the city’s five boroughs.

De Blasio has said he supports the plan but warned it could take at least a decade to accomplish. Rory Lancman, chairman of the City Council’s committee on courts & legal services, on Friday urged de Blasio to read the commission’s entire report —the mayor had pub-licly said he had not yet—and to create a closure plan for the next commissioner to follow.

“Correction commissioners come and go while the nightmare that is Rikers Island is eternal,” Lancman said in a statement.

Seymour James, attorney in charge of the Legal Aid Society, said Rikers has been troubled “almost since its inception” and that the next commissioner must be serious about reform and about hiring and training managers who will carry out those reforms. The report by Lippman’s group also called for eliminating cash bail, diverting low-level misdemeanors to service providers and resolv-ing felony cases within six months (NYLJ, April 1).

“I think the only way to elim- inate the serious problems there is to close it down,” James said in an interview Friday. “You need someone who’s going to be committed to that plan and to the reforms that Mr. Ponte was attempting to put in place.”

De Blasio said Friday he would look for a commissioner with “the same experience and progressive commitment to smart, effective correctional policy” as Ponte had.

Lippman, the former chief judge of the Court of Appeals who is now of counsel at Latham & Watkins, said the entire model of Rikers Island is “flawed” and that smaller incarceration centers would be more “humane.”

He said Ponte appeared before the reform commission and was “earnest and reform minded” and credited him with making improve-ments at Rikers.

“But we were all disturbed with that the last monitor’s report that, despite all the efforts, incidents of violence are rising,” Lippman said. “Rikers needs hands-on manage-ment. We need to end the violence that goes on there.”

One way to do that, Lippman said, is to continue reducing the population in the facility while looking for locations for smaller jail centers that will ultimately replace the sprawling complex on the East River.

“You can’t fix Rikers—you can make it a little better around the fringes, and we should be doing that while its open,” he said.

then-U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder directed prosecutors to conduct an “individualized assess-ment” of charges in the “specific circumstances” of a case.

On Friday, the National Asso-ciation of Assistant United States Attorneys praised the move as a necessary step toward combating drug and violent crime.

“The new guidance announced by Attorney General Sessions will restore the tools that Congress intended U.S. assistant attorneys to have at their disposal to prose-cute drug traffickers and drug traf-ficking enterprises,” the group’s president, Lawrence Leiser, said in a statement. “The tools are in accord with what Congress has authorized and deemed necessary to fight crime and assure public safety.”

But Melinda Haag, who served five years as U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California under President Barack Obama, said the DOJ’s new course would force prosecutors into pushing

for harsh sentences, regardless of the nature of the offender and the crime.

“It once again takes away dis-cretion for federal prosecutors to seek appropriate sentences for low-level offenders,” she said.

“Bottom line, what’s going to happen is this is going to put a lot of people in jail,” said Thomas A. Bergstrom, a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Western and Eastern Districts of Pennsylvania from 1970 to 1975 who now prac-tices white-collar criminal defense in Philadelphia.

Bergstrom, with the firm Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, said the impact would especially be felt in the plea bargaining pro-cess, where prosecutors will now be less likely to agree to a lesser sentence.

“It looks like all U.S. attorneys are going to be under the thumb of the attorney general,” he said. “I think the chances of the assistant attorney general agreeing to step it down is not a very high percentage.

It wasn’t clear, however, how the DOJ would enforce the “most read-ily provable” standard for charg-ing or how the department would

review cases to ensure compliance with the directive, said Kent Alex-ander, a former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia under President Bill Clinton.

“It’s [a] big change in policy with equally big escape hatches. I don’t think we’ll know the full effect of the memo until we see how each U.S. Attorney handles requests for departures and vari-ances. I’m guessing DOJ will be giving the U.S. Attorneys a quite a bit more guidance—official and unofficial—down the road,” Alex-ander said in an email.

Absent further guidance from Sessions or Deputy Attorney Gen-eral Rod Rosenstein, prosecutors will still have discretion in decid-ing which charges they have the best chance of proving to a jury within their own jurisdictions, Bergstrom said.

“That’s the parachute for the prosecutors. Unless the assistant attorney general wants to review the entire file, who’s going to chal-lenge that decision?”

The plaintiffs are specifically challenging whether two anti-assisted suicide statutes in state Penal Law apply to physicians and, if they do, whether the physicians’ constitutional rights are violated by the statutes.

The statutes in question, New York Penal Law §120.30 and §125.15(3) provide that “promot-ing a suicide attempt” by “inten-tionally caus[ing] or aid[ing] another person to attempt sui-cide” or “to commit suicide” con-stitute felonies. Both categories of offenses are felonies, §120.30 is punishable by up to four years in prison and §125.15(3) by up to 15 years in prison.

State Attorney Eric Schneider-man’s office will defend the stat-utes penalizing those who assist suicides.

“Plaintiffs’ due-process and equal-protection claims fail because New York’s history and traditions do not recognize any

fundamental right to receive assistance with taking one’s own life,” the state’s brief, signed by Assistant Solicitor General Valerie Figueredo, said. “New York law has long recognized a right to refuse medical treatment, but not a right to receive assistance in commit-ting suicide.”

Edwin Schallert, a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton in Manhat-tan, will argue for the plaintiffs.

State Deputy Solicitor General Anisha Dasgupta will defend the state and the anti-assisted suicide statutes in oral arguments.

The arguments, beginning at approximately 2:45 p.m. on May 30, can be streamed live on the Court of Appeals’ website.

In addition to state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, the suit names the district attorneys in the five counties where the phy-sician-plaintiffs live as defendants.

Those named defendants include Janet DiFiore, who was district attorney in Westchester County when the suit was origi-nally filed in 2015. She is recusing herself from the case, a spokes-

man for the Court of Appeals said Friday.

Among the amici filed with the court, is one by the New York Civil Liberties Union urging the judges to recognize some form of physi-cian-assisted suicide aid.

“Though New York state has significant interests in ensuring that the right at issue here is not abused or misused, an absolute ban on physician assistance undu-ly burdens the proper exercise of the right of competent, terminally ill patients to control the circum-stances of impending death,” Beth Haroules and Arthur Eisenberg wrote for the NYLCU.

Edward Mechmann wrote in the amicus curiae brief filed by the state’s Catholic Conference, which represents the state’s Roman Catholic Church leadership, that “aid in dying” is synonymous with “assisted suicide,” and that suicide is anathema to the teachings of the church.

According to Gelernter’s suit against Facebook, Mirror Worlds ceased operations in 2004—the same year that Facebook was launched—but has collected more than $47 million in revenue from its patents, which includes revenue from licensing agreements with Apple and Microsoft.

Gelernter’s document-stream concept was at the heart of his 2008 lawsuit against Apple filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a juris-diction long known for being friendly to plaintiffs in patent cases. He claimed that various Apple products on the market at the time organized data in the manner described in several

patents held by Mirror Worlds.In 2010, a jury in Mirror Worlds

v. Apple, 08-cv-88, found that the Spotlight, Cover Flow and Time Machine features on Apple products infringed on the patents and awarded Gelernter $625 mil-lion, or more than $208 million each for the infringement of three patents.

But Eastern District Judge Leon-ard Davis tossed the verdict, find-ing no liability for Apple.

Mirror Worlds appealed Davis’ decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit—this time represented by famed liti-gator David Boies of Boies Schiller Flexner—but a three-judge panel affirmed Davis.

In 2013, Network-1 Technolo-gies Inc., an intellectual property development firm, acquired Mirror Worlds’ patent portfolio, and Gel-

ernter became a consultant for the company, according to Network-1’s filing in March with the U.S. Securi-ties and Exchange Commission.

A few days after the acquisi-tion, Mirror Worlds went back to the Eastern District of Texas and filed new infringement suits against Apple and Microsoft, claiming acts of infringement following the judgement in the first Mirror Worlds case, and naming newer versions of Apple products.

In 2015, Eastern District of Texas Judge Robert Schroeder III rejected the defendants’ motions for summary judgement and, before the case went to trial, Microsoft settled for $4.65 million and Apple settled for $25 million.

Many of the tax rules for individual taxpay-ers depend on age. Attaining a birthday may entitle an indi-

vidual to a special tax break or end entitlement to another. Here is a rundown of key birthdays and what they mean for federal income taxes. It should be noted that some apply on the date of the birthday, some rules apply when the birthday is achieved as of the close of the taxable year, and some apply with respect to the half-year birthday.

Age 13

The dependent care credit can be claimed for a child who has not attained age 13 (Code §21(b)(1)(A)). This means that expens-es up to this birthday can be taken into account for the year in which this birthday occurs.

Age, however, is disregarded if the child is a dependent who is physically or mentally incapable of self care (Code §21(b)(1)(B)).

Age 17

A tax credit of up to $1,000 can be claimed for a child under the age of 17 (Code §24(c)(1)). If they turn 17 during the year, no credit is allowed for that year; the credit is not prorated for this purpose. There is no age exception for a disabled child (Polsky, CA-3, USTC ¶ 50,506).

Age 18

A contribution of up to $2,000 can be made annually to a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) until a child attains age 18 (Code §530(b)(1)(A)(ii)). However, a contribution can be made until the birthday. For exam-ple, if a child becomes 18 years old on May 1, 2017, a contribution of up to $2,000 can be made for 2017 until April 30, 2017. The con-

tribution amount does not have to be prorated for the portion of the year in which the child was under age 18.

Ages 19 and 24

For purposes of treating a child as a qualifying child for the dependency exemption, these two birthdays come into play (Code §152(c)(1)(C)). A child can be a qualifying child if younger than the taxpayer claiming the exemption

and is under age 19. A child can continue to be a qualifying child up to the age of 24 if he/she is a full-time student and younger than the taxpayer.

However, a parent may still claim a dependency exemption for a child who does not meet the definition of a qualifying child if the child can be treated as a qualifying relative (Code §152(d)). Thus, if a parent is supporting a child who is 32 years old in the parent’s home, a dependency exemption can be claimed as long as the child’s gross income is not more than a set amount ($4,050 in 2017) and other requirements are met.

Ages 19 and 24 are also key birthdays for the kiddie tax (Code §1(g)). Once this age is obtained, all of a child’s unearned income is

taxed only at the child’s rates rath-er than the parent’s top tax rates.

Age 26

Under the Affordable Care Act, a child can remain on his/her par-ent’s insurance policy until the age of 26. This is so whether the child is a dependent or even lives with the parent. However, once the child attains age 26, this cover-age is no longer permissible.

Age 30

When a beneficiary in a Coverdell ESA attains age 30, the account must be distributed to him or her within 30 days of this birthday (Code §530(b)(1)(E)). Even if there is no actual distri-bution, it is deemed to occur on this date. Earnings in the account become taxable at this time.

However, the deemed distribu-tion rule does not apply if the ben-eficiary has special needs. Also a deemed distribution can be avoid-ed by changing the beneficiary of the account to a “member of the family” (as defined in Code §529(e)(2), such as the beneficiary’s child, sibling.

Age 50

Individuals with compensation from a job or self-employment can make a “catch-up” contribution to certain qualified retirement plans and IRAs (including Roth IRAs). These additional contributions are permitted to enable workers to maximize retirement savings. Despite the term “catch up” for those age 50 and older, there is no relationship to prior contri-butions or the absence of such contributions.

For 2017, the additional catch-up amounts (Notice 2016-62):

• 401(k), 403(b), and 457 plans: $6,000

• SIMPLE IRAs: $3,000• IRAs and Roth IRAs: $1,000

Age 55

Attorneys are used to working with tickler sys-tems and calendars to en-sure that key deadlines for certain actions are timely met. The same methods should be used to ensure that age-related tax rules are observed.

Needlework: Did the Second Circuit Err in ‘Stevens v. Rite Aid’?

Can an employer terminate an employee that suffers from trypanophobia, which is defined as a fear of needles, without pro-

viding a reasonable accommoda-tion to that employee?

Yes. At least, that is the way the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit answered this ques-tion. In Stevens v. Rite Aid, No. 15-0277 (2d Cir. 2017), the Second Circuit reversed a district trial court verdict that found Christo-pher Stevens had been the victim of disability discrimination when his employer terminated him for refusing to administer vaccina-tions to customers because of his fear of needles. The Second Circuit decision overturned a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff, awarding Stevens back-pay damages of $485,633, front-pay damages of $1,227,188 to cover a period of 4.75 years, and non-pecuniary dam-ages of $900,000, later reduced to $125,000 when the plaintiff agreed to a remittitur. Judgment was entered on Jan. 27, 2015.

There are two questions that are central to this case: (1) whether administering vaccinations was an essential job function, and (2) whether the defendant could have provided Stevens with a reasonable accommodation. This article will explore these legal ques-tions.

Essential Job Function

The Americans with Disabili-ties Act prohibits discrimination in employment against “a qualified individual on the basis of disabil-ity.” 42 U.S.C. §12112(a). A qualified individual is defined as one who, “with or without a reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the job of the employment position that such individual holds or desires.” 42 U.S.C. 12111(8); see also Sista v. CDC Ixis N. Am., 445 F.3d 161,

169 (2d Cir. 2006) (citation and internal quotation marks omit-ted). If an employee can perform the essential functions of the job, the employer cannot discriminate. However, if the employee has a dis-ability that prevents them from car-rying out the essential functions of the job, that employee is rendered unqualified under the ADA.

The Second Circuit ruled that because Rite Aid revised its job description for pharmacists in 2011 to require immunization certifica-tion and licensure, that administer-ing vaccinations was an essential

function of the plaintiff’s job. How-ever, the Second Circuit is belied by a Rite Aid executive who testified at trial that at the time Stevens’s employment was terminated in 2011, “Rite Aid Pharmacists spent relatively little time performing customer immunizations when the new policy was first put into place … .” Stevens, 15-0277. Usu-ally essential functions of the job are a common part of a ‘qualified individual’s’ employment in a par-ticular position.

The Second Circuit has spo-ken definitively on distinguishing essential and non-essential job functions. The Second Circuit ruled that “essential functions are defined under EEOC regulations to mean the ‘fundamental duties’ to be performed in the position in question, but not functions that are merely ‘marginal.’” Shannon v. New York City Transit Auth., 332 F.3d 95, 100 (2d Cir. 2003) (citing Stone v.

City of Mt. Vernon, 118 F.3d 92, 97 (2d Cir. 1997).

The Second Circuit weighs the following factors in determining an essential job function: (1) “the employers judgment, (2) written job descriptions, (3) the amount of time spent on the job perform-ing the function, (4) the mention of the function in a collective bar-gaining agreement, (5) the work experience of past employees in the position, and (6) the work experience of current employees in similar positions.” McMillan v. City of New York, 711 F.3d 120, 126 (2d Cir. 2013) (citing Stone, 118 F.3d at 97). Courts are charged with con-ducting “a fact specific inquiry into both the employer’s description of a job and how the job is actually performed in practice.” McMillan, 711 F.3d at 126.

Since the Second Circuit treats EEOC Guidelines as authorita-tive, the Guidelines for determin-ing an essential job function are as follows: “A job function may be considered essential for any of several reasons, including but not limited to the following: (i) The function may be essential because the reason the position exists is to perform that function; (ii) The function may be essential because of the limited number of employees available among whom the perfor-mance of that job can be distrib-uted; and/or (iii) The function may be highly specialized so that the incumbent in the position is hired for his or her expertise or ability to perform that particular function.” 29 C.F.R. §1630.2(n).

Analyzing the case under these guidelines, it could be argued that at the time Stevens was terminated, the act of administering vaccina-tions was merely marginal. First, the plaintiff was employed at the defendant’s pharmacy for 34 years, during which period he performed the essential job functions of han-dling medications and counseling customers regarding their medica-tions. Stevens, 15-0277. There was no evidence presented that the purpose for being a pharmacist was to administer vaccinations, particularly since at the time of the plaintiff’s termination, a Rite Aid executive testified

In weighing the Second Circuit factors in determin-ing an essential job func-tion, there is a great deal of deference given to the employer’s judgment.

in brief outside Counsel

Adirondacks to her sister as the two bickered was not a legally enforceable contract, an appeals court decided.

An Appellate Division, Third Department, panel said in Wells v. Hodgkins, 523473, that while Shelby Hodgkins told Susan Wells that she would sell her share of the camp known as “Beach Cove” on the shore of Lake Placid in North Elba for $900,000, the conversation did not constitute a binding contract.

According to the court, when Hodgkins asked Wells during an argument in 2014 as they div-vied up family heirlooms, “What would it take, so that I never have to see your face again, and you never come to Camp [Beach Cove] again?” Wells invited Hodgkins to pay $900,000 for her share of the property their parents bought in 1956.

Hodgkins accepted the offer, according to the ruling. After the transaction failed to come off, Wells sued Hodgkins for breach of contract.

Wells’ attempt to turn the conversation into an enforceable contract is barred by terms of the state’s General Obligations Law, which generally holds that contracts for the sale of real property must be in writing in order to be binding, Justice John Egan Jr. wrote.

He said actions Wells took in her belief that a sale was immi-nent, such as hiring an attorney to handle the transaction, did not mean an enforceable contract existed.

Justices William McCarthy, Michael Lynch, Eugene Devine and Christine Clark joined in the ruling.

James Lagios, partner at Iseman, Cunningham, Riester & Hyde in Albany represented Hodgkins. John Privitera, share-holder at McNamee, Lochner, Titus & Williams in Albany, argued for Wells.

State Bar Seeks Simplified Power of Attorney Form

State lawmakers should revamp New York’s power of attorney form to make it less complex, expensive and inconvenient, the New York State Bar Association said.

The bar group this week renewed its call for the Legisla-ture to simplify the document; prevent banks, investment firms and other parties from improp-erly refusing to recognize a valid power of attorney; and make the language in the power of attor-ney form substantially the same as the language in the statute to prevent a form from being invali-dated due to a typographical or other harmless error.

“The goal of our legislative proposal is to ease the burden on families at a time when they need simple and effective solu-tions. Good public policy should ensure that consumers are able to create and use a power of attorney when they need it,” bar president Claire Gutekunst said.

As an example of the law’s complexity, the bar group not-ed, attorneys say that in some cases, power of attorney docu-ments can exceed the length of the wills drafted for their clients.

The Legislature last revised the power of attorney law in 2010. The bar group urged law-makers to revise the law in Feb-ruary 2016, saying it was “full of traps for the unwary.”

The percentage of 2016 gradu-ates in full-time, long-term jobs that require a law degree—con-sidered the gold standard—was 64.5 percent, up from 62.4 per-cent in 2015. Another 14.1 per-cent of 2016 graduates landed full-time, long-term J.D. advan-tage jobs, up slightly from 13.8 percent the previous year.

Among recent graduates, 8.8 percent were unemployed and seeking work 10 month after graduation, down nearly a per-cent from 2015.

Buffalo School District OKs LGBTQ Club After NYCLU Suit

Two days after the New York Civil Liberties Union filed suit against the Buffalo City School District for alleged discrimination, the district has agreed to change its policies regarding LGBTQ students.

The NYCLU said late Friday that the district’s superinten-dent has directed staff to help students form a Gay-Straight Alliance at McKinley High School and allow seniors to attend prom with their guest of choice, under the age of 21, regardless of gen-der.

The Western District suit, Elliott vs. Buffalo City School District, described alleged anti-LGBTQ policies at the school, including warning students not to bring a same-sex date to prom and making “couples” prom tick-ets available only to different-sex couples (NYLJ, May 11).

“This is a welcome first step,” NYCLU Executive Director, Don-na Lieberman said in a state-ment. “Although the GSA has not yet begun meeting, and our case remains active, we are optimistic that the district will work with us to address the issues raised in the case.”

The lawsuit seeks a court order for the district to approve the club and ensure members are allowed to start holding meetings at the school immediately. Students have attempted to form a GSA since at least the 2014-15 school year, according to the NYCLU.

Law Grad Employment Rate Rose, As 2016 Class Shrank

A smaller class of law graduates in 2016 once again helped bolster new lawyer employment rates.

According to new jobs data released Thursday by the Amer-ican Bar Association, 78.6 per-cent of 2016 law graduates had secured jobs that either require a law degree or for which a law degree is an advantage within 10 months of leaving campus. That’s up more than 2 percent from the previous year.

But the higher employment rate is due to the fact that there were nearly 3,000 fewer law graduates last year than there were in 2015, not because the market for entry-level lawyers expanded.

The actual number of recent graduates in J.D.-required or J.D.-advantage jobs fell more than 4 percent. Still, fewer graduates meant less competition for avail-able law jobs, which improved the overall prospects for 2016 law graduates.

WORKER/WORKPLACE NEGLIGENCE

Scaffold Accident Seriously Injured Painter

Mediated Settlement: $3,625,000

Mario Gil v. 120 Park Avenue Associates, LLC., HSBC Realty Credit Corporation (USA) and Turner Construction Company, No. 23702/12

Court: Queens Supreme

Plaintiff’s Attorney: Jordan Hecht, Hecht Kleeger & Damashek

Defense Attorney: Dennis Brady, Goldberg Segalla

Facts & Allegations: On July 27, 2012, painter Mario Gil, 58, was working at a renovation site at 120 Park Ave., in Manhattan when he fell four feet off of a roll-ing scaffold.

He sued the premises’ owner, 120 Park Avenue Associates LLC; the renovation project’s general contractor, Turner Construction Co.; the tenant that occupied the premises that were being renovated, Oracle America Inc.; and an entity that was believed to be an owner or lessor of the premises, HSBC Realty Credit Corporation (USA).

Plaintiff’s counsel discontinued the claim against HSBC Realty Credit. The matter proceeded against the remaining defendants, who were indemnified by Gil’s employer, Fine Specialties Inc.

Gil said the scaffold was unsteady because its wheels were mismatched and that he fell when it suddenly rocked backward, and was not protected by a railing. Gil’s counsel contended that the inci-dent stemmed from an elevation-related hazard, as defined by Labor Law § 240(1), and that Gil was not provided the proper, safe equipment that the statute requires.

Defense counsel said Gil misused the scaffold by failing to lock its wheels before ascending to its plat-form. He also said he moved the scaffold by pushing off of walls rather than climbing down to move it.

Gil’s counsel moved for summary judgment of liability, and the motion was granted. The matter proceeded to damages.

Injuries/Damages: An X-ray revealed Gil had frac-tured two ribs. He said he also suffered a torn rotator cuff, a torn ligament in his right wrist, and herniated discs. He entered physical therapy and received injec-tions of steroid-based painkillers.

On March 18, 2013, Gil had surgery on his shoulder, followed by surgery on his wrist seven months later. On Feb. 24, 2014, he underwent a discectomy and spi-nal fusion. On Dec. 19, 2016, he had a device implanted to provide pain-relieving stimulation of spinal nerves. Each surgery was followed by physical therapy.

Gil said he has residual pain in his back, his neck and right shoulder, which restricts his ability to carry or hold objects. He has not worked since the accident,

and said he requires further physical therapy, epidural injections, and possibly more spinal surgery.

He sought recovery of future medical expenses, future lost earnings, and damages for past and future pain and suffering.

Defense counsel said Gil’s injuries predated the acci-dent, noting that Gil reported having injured his right shoulder in 2009 and contending the herniated discs were caused by a chronic degenerative condition.

Result: The parties negotiated a pretrial settlement. Fine Specialties’ insurer agreed to pay $3,625,000. The negotiations were mediated by Robert Adams, of National Arbitration and Mediation Inc.

Auto Accident Caused Spine, Knee Injuries

Verdict: $3,000,000

Brigette Brzezniak v. Vincent J. Sorrentino and City of Buffalo, No. 800606/14

Court/Judge: Erie Supreme/John L. Michalski

Plaintiff’s Attorney: Michael Scinta, Brown Chiari LLP

Defense Attorney: Michael Hagelin, Hagelin Spen-cer LLC (Vincent J. Sorrentino, City of Buffalo)

Facts & Allegations: On April 22, 2013, Brigette Brzezniak, 24, was riding in vehicle driven by her sister, Kristen Brzezniak, traveling north on Michi-gan Avenue in Buffalo. While Kristen Brzezniak was proceeding through the intersection of Seneca Street, the left side of her car was struck by a flatbed truck driven by Vincent Sorrentino.

Brigette Brzezniak sued Sorrentino and the owner of Sorrentino’s truck, the city of Buffalo. The defendants impleaded Kristen Brzezniak, alleging negligence.

Brigette Brzezniak said a yellow blinking signal gov-erned her sister’s entrance and a red blinking signal governed Sorrentino’s entrance. She said Sorrentino should have yielded the right of way.

Sorrentino said he was not aware that he didn’t have the right of way. He said he did not understand the obligation imposed by a blinking red signal.

Sorrentino’s counsel claimed the collision occurred after Sorrentino had crossed half of the intersection. Sorrentino said Kristen Brzezniak did not brake or try to avoid the collision.

Liability was decided via summary judgment: Sor-rentino and the City of Buffalo were deemed entirely liable. The trial addressed damages.

Injuries/Damages: Brigette Brzezniak said her back, neck and right knee were painful after the crash. She underwent minor treatment. After 24 days, she underwent drainage of a large hematoma that had developed in her right knee. She ultimately claimed

that she sustained herniated discs and damage of cartilage of her right knee.

On Sept. 20, 2013, Brzezniak underwent surgery that involved removing a portion of a disc and ver-tebra. On Sept. 26, 2014, she had arthroscopic knee surgery that addressed her right knee and cartilage repair. On Nov. 13, 2015, she had a discectomy, spi-nal fusion and implantation of stabilizing hardware. She also underwent physical therapy and received injections of cortisone to her right knee. Chiropractic treatment is ongoing.

Brzezniak said her back remains painful, that physi-cal activity worsens the pain, and that some of her spinal hardware has broken and must be removed. She also claimed that she requires further spinal fusion. She sought recovery of future medical expenses and damages for past and future pain and suffering.

Defense counsel intended to introduce evidence that suggested that Brzezniak’s injuries stemmed from congenital conditions, saying Brzezniak and her sister—who filed a separate lawsuit stemming from the accident—claimed to have suffered largely simi-lar injuries and underwent post-accident MRI scans that produced largely similar results. But Erie County Supreme Court Justice John Michalski precluded the introduction of such an argument.

Defense counsel contended Brzezniak exaggerated the extent of her injuries, that her surgeries were not necessary, and that further surgery has not been scheduled and is unnecessary.

Result: The jury found that Brzezniak’s damages totaled $3 million.

Welder Sustained Head Injuries After Fall

Settlement: $2,500,000

Marek Chilinski v. LMJ Contracting Inc. & United Baking Co., Inc. d/b/a Uncle Wally’s C&C Millwright Maintenance Co. & Dunbar Systems Inc., No. 47489/09

Court/Judge: Suffolk Supreme/W. Gerard Asher

Plaintiffs’ Attorney: Kenneth Wilhelm, The Law Offices of Kenneth A. Wilhelm

Defense Attorneys: Christopher Di Giulio, The Law Offices of Christopher P. Di Giulio (United Baking Co. Inc.); Stuart Glass, White Fleischner & Fino, LLP (C & C Millwright Maintenance Co. Inc.)

Facts & Allegations: On Sept. 3, 2009, welder Marek Chilinski, 24, was modifying an upper section of an industrial oven at 41 Natcon Drive, in Shirley when he fell off of a scaffold’s platform and plummeted about 14 feet.

He sued the premises’ owner, United Baking Co. Inc.; a subcontractor that installed the oven, C & C Mill-

wright Maintenance Co. Inc.; a general contractor that oversaw installation of the oven, Dunbar Systems Inc.; and another one of the project’s subcontractors, LMJ Contracting Inc. United Baking cross-claimed against C & C Millwright Maintenance and Dunbar Systems. United Baking sought contractual indemnification.

Plaintiff’s counsel discontinued the claim against LMJ Contracting, and Dunbar Systems was dismissed. The matter proceeded against the remaining defen-dants.

Chilinski said plywood that had been covering a hole in the scaffold’s platform collapsed under his feet. He said the platform was not secure, and that the defendants had not provided a harness, installed a net, or took any steps to prevent his injuries.

Plaintiff’s counsel said the incident stemmed from an elevation-related hazard, as defined by Labor Law §240(1), and that Chilinski was not provided the proper, safe equipment that is the statute requires. Plaintiff’s counsel also said the defendants failed to provide or ensure reasonable and adequate protec-tion, as required by Labor Law §241(6) and violated Labor Law §200, which defines general workplace-safety requirements.

C & C Millwright Maintenance’s counsel argued that United Baking was responsible for ensuring the safety of the workplace. He also said the scaffold was safe.

United Baking’s counsel said his client did not directly control Chilinski’s work functions, and that the remaining defendants were responsible for over-seeing the workers and ensuring the safety of the site and equipment.

Injuries/Damages: Chilinski suffered fractures of his face, his jaw and several teeth and briefly lost consciousness. His facial fractures were addressed via open reduction and the internal fixation of plates and screws, and his jaw was wired. His was hospi-talized for lasted 23 days, and required periodontal treatment.

Chilinski said he also suffered brain damage that causes impaired memory. He said his injuries pre-vented him from working for about 11 months.

He sought reimbursement of a workers’ compensa-tion lien of about $250,000 and damages for past and future pain and suffering.

Defense counsel said Chilinski did not suffer a brain injury and contended that any ongoing deficits are a result of one, or both, of two accidents that occurred during the previous year.

Result: The parties negotiated a settlement. United Baking’s insurer agreed to pay $2.3 million, and C & C Millwright Maintenance’s insurer agreed to pay $200,000. The settlement also included a reduction of the workers’ compensation lien to $162,372.

By Marcia coyle

THE TRUMP administration’s U.S. Justice Department is both simul-taneously challenging and backing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, creating a litigation whirl-wind as Republicans and business advocates push reforms that would strip some power from the Obama-era federal agency.

The cases, which present dif-ferent legal issues, could end up before the justices next term in an unusual juxtaposition for the Jus-tice Department’s Office of Solicitor General. Both cases are high on the watch lists of business advocates, financial companies and consumer groups.

In March in a federal appeals court, the Justice Department opposed the consumer bureau in a crucial constitutional chal-lenge to its single-director struc-ture. The Justice Department’s new stance, against the CFPB, was a switch from the govern-ment’s position during the Obama administration. The next month, the Justice Department defended the bureau in a different case that is pending in the U.S. Supreme Court.

In the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the Justice Depart-ment on March 17 filed an amicus brief in PHH v. CFPB, taking the position that the restriction on the president’s power to remove the bureau’s director, Richard Cordray, is unconstitutional. The case will be argued May 24 before the full D.C. Circuit. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s Theodore Olson is expected to argue for the mortgage lender PHH Corp.

The Supreme Court case also focuses on Cordray, but in a differ-ent way. The department on April 24 urged the justices not to review a challenge to Cordray’s ratifica-tion of enforcement actions taken between his January 2012 recess appointment and his July 2013 Sen-ate confirmation.

The pro-business Washington Legal Foundation brought the peti-

tion in Gordon v. CFPB in Novem-ber. The justices will take their first look at the case—Chance Gordon, a lawyer, is the challenger—during their May 25 conference.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in an amicus brief by Latham & Watkins partner Gregory Garre, contends Cordray filed nearly a dozen complaints in federal court and began numerous administra-tive proceedings during that peri-od, resulting in fines, restitution and other payments totaling about $400 million.

Those “unconstitutionally initi-ated enforcement actions,” Garre wrote, underscore “the breadth of the power that Mr. Cordray invoked.”

Washington Legal Foundation’s Richard Samp is counsel to Gordon, a lawyer in California whom the CFPB accused of violating consum-er protection laws. “I think this is a very fundamental question of sepa-ration of powers, an issue that has not been addressed by the court but should be,” Samp said.

The CFPB sued Gordon in 2012, alleging violations of the Consumer Financial Protection Act and Regu-lation O, the mortgage assistance relief services rule. The agency alleged Gordon obtained millions of dollars from financially distressed homeowners through a scheme in which he charged illegal upfront fees for home loan modification services.

A federal district court held Gordon liable for $11.4 million in disgorgement and restitution. A divided panel of the Ninth Cir-cuit in April 2016 upheld the rul-ing, rejecting Gordon’s argument that the bureau lacked standing because of Cordray’s invalid recess appointment. The panel also held that Cordray’s subsequent valid appointment and ratification of the suit “cured” any appointments clause issues.

In dissent, Judge Sandra Ikuta argued the consumer bureau lacked standing to sue Gordon because standing was dependent on Cordray’s being validly appoint-ed. Cordray’s later ratification of

his actions “could not retroactively cure the district court’s lack of jurisdiction,” Ikuta wrote.

In his Supreme Court petition, Samp makes two arguments. First, Cordray’s status throughout the proceedings against Gordon was that of a private citizen and since no properly constituted federal official authorized the lawsuit, there was no federal court juris-diction over it. Samp also argued that because neither Cordray nor anyone else associated with the CFPB possessed the legal capacity to authorize the suit when it was filed and litigated, an 1873 Supreme Court decision bars Cordray from ratifying it later.

Samp said the Ninth Circuit deci-sion conflicts with other appellate rulings that require more than a “rubber stamp” ratification. He asked the justices to decide wheth-er ratification can include not just the initial act, but, as in Gordon’s case, federal court rulings entered in response to the act.

Relying on “ordinary agency law” principles, acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall counters that Cordray’s ratification was effec-tive because the bureau had the authority—at the time the suit was filed—to bring a case against Gordon. Although Cordray was not a properly designated agent at that time, according to the Justice Department, he later rati-fied those actions as the bureau’s director.

Wall also argued that Cordray did not ratify anything other than actions taken on CPFB’s behalf—not court rulings. And, he adds, there is no circuit conflict on the issue.

Besides the Chamber of Com-merce, a supporting brief for Gordon has been filed by Irell & Manella’s David Schwarz on behalf of the Cato Institute, and a brief by Anthony Caso of Chapman Univer-sity Fowler School of Law on behalf of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence.

CFPB Finds Both Challenges, SupportFrom Trump’s Justice Department

that there were low immunization numbers in 2011. While he stated the public was not aware of the immunization program yet and it has since grown, the courts only base essential function analysis on the status of the function at the time of the employee’s termination.

While it could be argued that there may be a limited number of employees available among whom this job can be distributed, it certainly cannot be argued that administering vaccinations is so highly specialized that the plain-tiff was hired for his expertise in this position. The plaintiff in this case was hired over 30 years before the defendant’s vaccination poli-cy ever became a part of the job functions of being a pharmacist. Furthermore, all Rite Aid pharma-cists had to complete a training to administer vaccinations, meaning that it is likely that none of these pharmacists were hired for their expertise in administering vac-cinations. This is especially true because Rite Aid offered train-ing for pharmacists from 2011 to administer vaccinations.

In weighing the Second Circuit factors in determining an essential job function, there is a great deal of deference given to the employer’s judgment. The Second Circuit notes that courts “must give consider-able deference to an employer’s judgment regarding what functions are essential for service in a par-ticular position.” Shannon v. New York City Transit Authority, 332 F.3d 95, 100 (2d Cir. 2003) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted); see also, e.g., 42 U.S.C. §12111(8) (“[C]onsiderations shall be given to the employer’s judgment as to what

functions of a job are essential, and if an employer has prepared a writ-ten description before advertising or interviewing applicants for the job, the description shall be con-sidered evidence of the essential functions of the job.”). However, the Second Circuit is also clear that while employer’s judgment and written description of the job are important factors “no one listed factor will be dispositive.” Stone, 118 F.3d at 97.

In Stevens, it appears that the Second Circuit made the employ-er’s judgment factor dispositive in determining what functions were essential for the job of a pharma-cist. Certainly after 2011, admin-istering injections became a part of the written job description of being a Rite Aid pharmacist. Id. However, it could be instructive to examine past written job descrip-tions as well in this case. The jury may have weighed the fact that when the plaintiff applied to be a pharmacist at Rite Aid, admin-istering vaccinations was not an enumerated job function. It may be an unreasonable exercise to only examine Rite Aid’s job descrip-tion from 2011, a description put into place well after the plaintiff was hired.

At the time Rite Aid begin to administer its vaccination program, Stevens was not a Rite Aid appli-cant. If Stevens was applying for the job in 2011, then it would be rea-sonable to argue that Stevens was well aware that a condition of being hired was the ability to administer vaccinations and that given his fear of needles, it would make it difficult to perform the essential function of administering vaccinations. Since the plaintiff was an employee for years without having to administer any vaccinations as a pharmacist, it is important to understand that

written job descriptions should be taken in totality in this case since the plaintiff was not a job applicant but a long standing employee with Rite Aid.

There was no evidence pre-sented that the purpose for being a pharmacist was to administer vaccinations, particularly since at the time of the plaintiff’s termina-tion, a Rite Aid executive testified that there were low immunization numbers in 2011. While he stated the public was not aware of the

immunization program yet and it has since grown, the courts only base essential function analysis on the status of the function at the time of the employee’s ter-mination. Past employees were also not required to administer vaccinations prior to 2011. After 2011, all Rite Aid pharmacists were mandated to administer vaccina-tions, which certainly weighed in the plaintiff’s favor.

It is telling that the Second Cir-cuit only seemed to weigh two fac-tors: the employer’s judgment and the 2011 revised pharmacist job description. Since no one factor is dispositive and taking the total-ity of circumstances in this case, it could reasonably be asked that if at the time of the plaintiff’s ter-mination, administering vaccina-tions was such a small part of his job, as well as the plaintiff being a pharmacist at Rite Aid long before the revised job description, and the fact that past employees did not have to administer vaccinations,

was administering vaccinations really an essential job function?

Reasonable Accommodation

The Second Circuit also ana-lyzed the question of whether the defendant could have provided the plaintiff with a reasonable accom-modation. The ADA stipulates that a reasonable accommodation can involve “job restructuring, part-time or modified work schedules, reassignment to a vacant position,

acquisition or modification of equipment or devices, appropri-ate adjustment or modification of examinations, training materials or policies, the provision of qualified readers or interpreters, and other similar accommodations for indi-viduals with disabilities.” 42 U.S.C. §12111(9); see also Lovejoy-Wilson v. NOCO Motor Fuel, 263 F.3d 208, 217 (2d Cir. 2001).

While “job restructuring” is not defined in the ADA, EEOC Guide-lines under the ADA explain that “[a]n employer or other covered entity may restructure a job by reallocating or redistributing non-essential, marginal job functions.” 29 C.F.R. pt. 1630, App. §1630.2(o). However, EEOC regulations note that an employer “is not required to reallocate essential functions.” In this case, the plaintiff spent over 30 years as a pharmacist when administering vaccinations was not an essential job function. Fur-thermore, it could be argued at the time of the plaintiff’s termination,

administering vaccinations was a nonessential, marginal job because even the defendant acknowledg-es that while they changed the pharmacist job description to add administering vaccinations in 2011, it was a marginal part of the job because the public was just becoming aware of the defen-dant’s vaccination program. If this were the case, the defendant could have reallocated the marginal func-tions of administering needles to other pharmacists as a possible job restructuring.

The Second Circuit dismissed the plaintiff’s argument that the defendant could have provided him with desensitization therapy. Desensitization therapy is defined as a type of therapy used to help individuals overcome phobias and other psychological disorders. The Second Circuit cited case law in Emerllahu v. Pactiv, No. 11-CV-6197 (MAT), 2013 WL 5876998, at *4 n.2 (W.D.N.Y. Oct. 30, 2013); Desmond v. Yale-New Haven Hospital, 738 F. Supp. 2d 331, 351 (D. Conn. 2010) that employers are not obligated to provide employees medical treat-ment for employees as a reason-able accommodation. While the District Court of Connecticut in Desmond agreed that an employer is not required to provide medical treatment, there is a case that indi-cates that medical treatment can be used as a possible reasonable accommodation.

In Dunlap v. Association of Bay Area Gov’ts, 996 F. Supp. 962 (N.D. Cal. 1998), a plaintiff sued an insurer after he was injured on the job for refusing to provide him a reasonable accommodation that required medical treatment, a recommended surgical procedure, and other necessary medical care under Title III of the ADA. Dunlap, 996 F. Supp. 962. Title III of the

ADA applies to public accommo-dations and provides in relevant part that “no individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns … or operates a place of public accommodation.” 42 U.S.C. §12182(a).

In Dunlap, the Northern Dis-trict Court in California ruled that the defendant denying the plain-tiff medical care as a reasonable accommodation could be a basis for a disability discrimination claim under the ADA. Furthermore, the court noted that often McDonnell-Douglas burden shifting is used for non-employment ADA discrimina-tion cases such as Rothman v. Emo-ry Univ., 123 F.3d 446, 451 (7th Cir. 1997) (applying McDonnell-Douglas burden-shifting in a case brought under Title III of the ADA).

Since McDonnell-Douglas can be used as a burden shifting standard in Title III ADA cases, why can’t a reasonable accommodation request of medical treatment be used in employment cases? If the defen-dant cannot prove that the medi-cal treatment would be an undue hardship, it may be worth it to pro-vide medical treatment to a valued employee who had been employed with the defendant for 34 years.

While I am not saying that the Second Circuit necessarily got its analysis totally wrong, it does not appear that they carefully weighed all of the factors in determining whether administering vaccina-tions was an essential job func-tion and if there could have been a reasonable accommodation for the plaintiff. One thing is very certain: Twelve citizens in a box believed the plaintiff.

‘Stevens’« Continued from page 4

Since ‘McDonnell-Douglas’ can be used as a burden shift-ing standard in Title III ADA cases, why can’t a reasonable accommodation request of medical treatment be used in employment cases?

from qualified retirement plans prior to age 591/2 does not apply if distributions are made because of separation from service after age 55 (Code §72(t)(2)(A)(v)).

As in the case of retirement plans and IRAs, additional contributions based on age can be made to health savings accounts (HSAs) beginning at age 55. The additional contribu-tion is $1,000. This amount is fixed by law; it is not indexed for inflation.

Age 591/2

The 10% early distribution pen-alty on distributions from qualified

retirement plans and IRAs does not apply after attaining age 591/2 (Code §72(t)(2)(A)(i)).

Age 65

An individual who uses the standard deduction can claim an additional amount for age (Code §63(f)). For 2017, the additional standard deduction amount is $1,550 for singles and $1,250 for joint filers (for each spouse age 65 and older).This applies to someone who attains age 65 before the close of the taxable year. It also applies to anyone with a January 1st birth-day; he or she is deemed to have reached age 65 in the previous year. For example, a person who attains age 65 on Jan. 1, 2018, can claim the additional standard deduction on a 2017 income tax return.

This age also impacts the thresh-old for filing an income tax return (Code §6012(a)(1)(B)). More spe-

cifically, the gross income thresh-old is increased by the additional standard deduction amount.

Age 65 is also the age when distributions from health savings accounts (HSAs) can be taken pen-alty free for nonmedical expenses. However, these distributions are still subject to income tax.

Age 701/2

Becoming 701/2 years old bars any further contributions to an IRA (Code §219(d)(1)). No con-tribution is allowed if this age is attained by the end of the year. This contribution limit applies even though the individual continues to work. However, contributions to a SEP and a SIMPLE-IRA, which are IRA-based retirement plans, con-tinue past this age, even though required minimum distributions simultaneously start at this time, explained next.

Attaining age 701/2 triggers the required minimum distribution (RMD) rules for qualified retire-ment plans and IRAs. Owners of these accounts must begin their RMDs by the end of year in which this age is reached. For example, an individual’s 70th birthday is March 1, 2017. She reaches age 701/2 in 2017, so her first RMD is due by Dec. 31, 2017. If her birth-day had been July 1, she would not attain ager 701/2 until 2018 and her first RMD would be due by Dec. 31, 2018.

The failure to take an RMD can trigger a 50 percent penalty (Code §4974(a)). However, the RMD can be delayed in some cir-cumstances:

• The first RMD is treated as timely if taken by April 1 follow-ing the year in which the taxpay-er attains age 701/2. In the earlier example, she would not have a penalty if her first RMD were

taken by April 1, 2018. However, in any event, the second RMD is December 31, 2018.

• An individual who is still working for a company with a qualified plan may postpone RMDs until actual retirement if the plan permits it. However, this delay does not apply to anyone who is a more-than-5 percent owner of the company. And it does not apply to IRAs and IRA-based plans (e.g., SEPs, SIMPLE IRAs, and SARSEPs).

There are no lifetime RMDs for the owner of a Roth IRA.

Conclusion

Attorneys are used to working with tickler systems and calendars to ensure that key deadlines for certain actions are timely met. The same methods should be used to ensure that age-related tax rules are observed.

Disciplinary Proceedings

Matter of William E. Gahwyler, Jr.,

a suspended attorney

2016-12315

Appellate Division, Second Department

Eng, P.J., Mastro, Rivera, Dillon, Balkin, JJ.

Decided: May 10, 2017

Diana Maxfield Kearse, Brook-lyn, Ny (thomas Graham amon of counsel), for petitioner.

Per curiam — By order filed June 15, 2016, the supreme Court of New Jersey disbarred the respondent, on certifications of default filed by the office of attorney ethics (hereinafter oae) with regard to four disci-plinary matters (Docket Nos. DrB 15-206, DrB 15-274, DrB 15-307, and DrB 15-347), for violation of New Jersey rules of professional Conduct (hereinafter rpC) rule 1.15(a) (misappropriation of trust account funds). the order was predicated on a decision dated april 12, 2016, by the Disciplinary review Board (hereinafter DrB) of the supreme Court of New Jersey.

the facts as disclosed in the

DrB’s decision can be summa-rized as follows:

the respondent was admit-ted to the New Jersey Bar in 1990, and had a disciplinary his-tory consisting of: (1) a “strong censure” in 2011 for a conflict of interest in a real estate transac-tion, misrepresentations made on closing documents, and a failure to set forth in writing the basis of his fee; (2) a one-year suspen-sion from the practice of law in 2013, effective February 22, 2013, again for a conflict of interest in a real estate transaction and dis-honesty and misrepresentations made in connection with closing documents, and for » Page 8

marcumllp.com/nylj


disciplinary Proceedings

taking an excessive fee (see In re Gahwyler, 212 NJ 556, 58 A3d 727); and (3) a censure in 2014, in a default matter, for recordkeeping violations and failure to cooperate with disciplinary authorities (see In re Gahwyler, 217 NJ 218, 86 A3d 130).

Thereafter, the respondent defaulted in four separate New Jersey disciplinary matters: Docket Nos. DRB 15-206, DRB 15-274, DRB 15-307, and DRB 15-347.

Docket No. DRB 15-274 (XIV-2013-0456E)

This matter arose out of the respondent’s failure to file the required affidavit of compliance pursuant to New Jersey Rules of Court rule 1:20-20, following his one-year suspension in 2013. This rule requires a suspended attorney, within 30 days of the date of the order of suspension, to file an affidavit of compliance. On August 5, 2015, the OAE certi-fied this matter as a default when the respondent did not answer the complaint, reply to any of the letters sent to him requesting an answer to the complaint, or file the required affidavit. The DRB found, based on the foregoing, that the respondent’s failure to file the affi-davit constituted violations of RPC rules 8.1(b) (failure to cooperate with disciplinary authorities) and 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice).

Docket No. DRB 15-206 (XIV-2014-0192E, XIV-2014-0241E, and XIV-2014-0256E)

This matter arose out of the respondent’s handling of three client matters while he was sus-pended from the practice of law. On March 12, 2015, the OAE sent a for-mal ethics complaint to the respon-dent, by regular and certified mail. On April 15, 2015, at an appearance for a demand interview with the OAE (for reasons not disclosed in the certification of the record), the respondent was personally handed a second letter directing him to file an answer to the complaint within five days, and advising him that if he failed to do so, the allegations in the complaint would be deemed admitted. As of June 3, 2015, the respondent had not filed an answer to the complaint. Accordingly, on that date, the OAE certified the matter as a default.

The DRB found, based on the foregoing, that the respondent violated RPC rule 8.1(b) (failure to cooperate with disciplinary author-ities); RPC rule 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice); and RPC rule 5.5(a)(1) (unauthorized practice of law) with regard to all three matters. In addi-tion, the DRB pointed out that a person who “knowingly engages in the unauthorized practice of law” is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree (NJ Stat Ann 2C:21-22[a]). Thus, with respect to all three mat-ters, the respondent’s representa-tion of the clients amounted to a crime. Accordingly, the respondent violated RPC rule 8.4(b) (conduct that adversely reflects on a law-yer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer). Lastly, he also violated RPC rule 8.4(c) (conduct

involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation) by leading clients and others to believe that he was authorized to practice law.

Docket No. DRB 15-307 (XIV-2014-0541E and XIV-2015-0019E)

This disciplinary matter involved the respondent’s con-duct in two real estate transac-tions while he was suspended from the practice of law. On June 30, 2015, the OAE sent a formal eth-ics complaint to the respondent, by regular and certified mail, fol-lowed by a second letter on August 3, 2015, sent by regular mail. The second letter directed him to file an answer to the complaint within five days, and advised him that if he failed to do so, the allegations in the complaint would be deemed admitted. As of August 19, 2015, the respondent had not filed an answer to the complaint. Accordingly, on that date, the OAE certified the matter as a default.

The DRB found, based on the foregoing, as with previous mat-ters, that the respondent violated RPC rules 5.5(a)(1), 8.1(b), and 8.4(b), (c), and (d).

Docket No. DRB 15-347 (XIV-2015-0287E)

In this disciplinary matter, it was alleged that the respondent knowingly misappropriated escrow funds, in addition to committing multiple other violations. On August 21, 2015, the OAE sent a formal ethics complaint to the respondent, by regular and cer-tified mail, followed by a second letter on September 15, 2015, sent by regular mail. The second letter directed him to file an answer to the complaint within five days, and advised him that if he failed to do so, the allegations in the complaint would be deemed admitted. As of September 29, 2015, the respon-dent had not filed an answer to the complaint. Accordingly, on that date, the OAE certified the matter as a default.

The complaint alleged that Alla Shapiro owned and operated a commercial establishment known as Shapiro Enterprises, LLC, doing business as The Woodhouse Day Spa (hereinafter together the ten-ant). On June 6, 2007, the tenant entered into a commercial lease with Herod Redevelopment I, LLC/The Pinnacle Companies, LLC (hereinafter the landlord). During the tenancy, a dispute arose over unsatisfactory conditions at the property due to water penetration, and the tenant requested reme-diation. The tenant also withheld rent until appropriate remediation was undertaken and completed by the landlord. Alan Trembulak, the attorney who initially represented the tenant in the dispute, withheld the total sum of $15,293.72, which Trembulak deposited into his attor-ney trust account, pending resolu-tion of the dispute.

On an unspecified date, the tenant retained the respondent to represent it in the dispute. On May 12, 2014, Trembulak sent the respondent a letter enclosing an attorney trust account check in the amount of $15,293.72. The letter stated that Trembulak had been holding the funds in escrow pending resolution of the dis-pute, and instructed, “Pursuant to prior agreement between the

parties, continue to hold these funds in your Attorney Trust Account pending resolution of the issues in dispute.” The check was payable to “William Gahwy-ler Attorney Trust Account” and the memo line stated “Shapiro/Woodhouse = = escrow funds.” However, the respondent depos-ited the check into his business account. The respondent failed to disclose to Trembulak, the tenant, or the landlord’s attorney, Charles Applebaum, that he was suspend-ed from the practice of law, and failed to correct any misapprehen-sion on their part as to his attorney status.

By early 2015, the remediation of the property was completed and the tenant and landlord agreed that the escrowed funds should be turned over to the landlord. Apple-baum emailed the respondent on numerous occasions demanding release of the escrowed funds. In an email dated April 15, 2015, the respondent misrepresented to Applebaum that the funds were in escrow. At an OAE interview, the respondent admitted to the knowing misappropriation of the funds. He admitted that he depos-ited the escrow funds in his attor-ney business account, and that he used the escrow funds for his per-sonal purposes, including, but not limited to, the payment of credit cards, auto loans, IRS payments, and other personal expenses. The respondent further admitted that he did not have authorization to use the funds for any purpose, and that his use was “driven by per-sonal economic need.” The OAE obtained bank records confirming the respondent’s use of the escrow funds for personal purposes.

The DRB found, based on the foregoing, that the respondent violated multiple rules, the most significant being RPC rule 1.15(a), the knowing misappropriation of escrow funds. Other violations included a violation of RPC rules 4.1(a)(1), 5.5(a), 8.1(a), and 8.4(b), (c), and (d). The DRB concluded that the respondent must be disbarred for knowingly misap-propriating escrow funds, and accordingly, there was no need to consider the appropriate quantum of discipline with respect to the respondent’s other serious ethics infractions.

By order filed June 15, 2016, the Supreme Court of New Jersey dis-barred the respondent, on certifi-cations of default, for violation of RPC rule 1.15(a) (misappropriation of trust account funds).

By notice pursuant to former 22 NYCRR 691.3, the Grievance Committee for the Second, Elev-enth, and Thirteenth Judicial Dis-tricts has made an application to impose reciprocal discipline on the respondent. Although served with a copy of the Grievance Com-mittee’s notice on November 16, 2016, the respondent has neither submitted a verified statement nor requested additional time in which to do so.

Based on the findings of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, we find that reciprocal discipline is warranted. Accordingly, the Griev-ance Committee’s application to impose reciprocal discipline is granted, and, effective immedi-ately, the respondent is disbarred based on the disciplinary action taken against him in New Jersey.

All concur.

Matter of William E. Gahwyler, Jr.


Matter of Theophilus Maranga,

an attorney and counselor-at-law

M-107

Appellate Division, First Department

Tom, P.J., Acosta, Richter, Manzanet-Daniels, Kahn, JJ.

Decided: May 9, 2017

Jorge Dopico, Chief Attorney, Attorney Grievance Committee, New York (Jun H. Lee, of counsel), for petitioner.

Respondent pro se.

____❙❙❙❙❙❙◆❙❙❙❙❙❙____

Per curiam — Respondent Theophilus Maranga was admit-ted to the practice of law in the State of New York by the First Judi-cial Department on September 21, 1992, under the name Theophilus Fuseini-Bart. At all times relevant herein, respondent maintained an office for the practice of law within the First Judicial Department.

Respondent was served with a notice and statement of nine charg-

es arising from his representation in two unrelated immigration mat-ters. Respondent was charged with failing to adequately supervise his nonlawyer secretary; engaging in a conflict of interest; neglecting a legal matter (two counts); failing to seek the lawful objective of a client; failing to keep a client reasonably informed about the status of a mat-ter; failing to promptly inform a cli-ent of a material development in a matter (two counts); and engaging in conduct that adversely reflected on his fitness as a lawyer.

The Committee now seeks an order, pursuant to former Rules of the Appellate Division, First Department (22 NYCRR)

§§ 603.4(d) and 605.15(e)(2), confirming the Hearing Panel’s report and recommendation, and suspending respondent from the practice of law for two years, or, in the alternative, affirming the Ref-eree’s report and recommendation under Rules for Attorney Discipline Matters (22 NYCRR) § 1240.8(b)(1) and suspending respondent for two years.1

We now affirm the Referee’s report. Given that both the Referee and Hearing Panel reports are in complete agreement, there is no substantial prejudice to either par-ty, nor would it be unjust or imprac-ticable to apply Rule 1240.8(b)(1).

The Referee’s findings are amply supported by the docu-mentary evidence and testimony presented by the Committee and thus affirmed. We also affirm the Referee’s recommended sanc-tion of a two-year suspension. In determining that a two-year suspension was warranted, the Referee appropriately considered the fact that respondent’s neglect involved immigration clients who were “in serious jeopardy of being deported,” that he did not accept any responsibility for his wrong-doing, that his prior disciplinary history involved similar miscon-duct, and that his mitigation did not carry much weight (see e.g. Matter of Meyers, 108 AD3d 158 [1st Dept 2013]).

Accordingly, the Committee’s motion should be granted to the extent of affirming the Referee’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, and respondent suspended from the practice of law in the State of New York for a period of two years, and until further order of this Court.

All concur.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

1. The charges in this matter were brought under Rules 603 and 605, which have been rescinded and replaced by 22 NYCRR 1240, which does not provide for Hearing Panels.

Beyond Paternity: Future of Genetic Testing in Personal Injury Litigation

Although defense counsel can choose from an array of experts to dispute a claim of permanent inju-ry, there are few effective

ways to challenge a plaintiff’s claim of work and life expectancy. While economists and vocational reha-bilitation experts are useful, they are as equally wed to the actuarial tables as plaintiff’s own experts. Actuarial tables merely provide a statistical average, and the plaintiff may not be average.

A potential emerging tool in this area is DNA testing. A plaintiff’s genome, like his smoking habit, can undermine the actuarial assump-tions related to life and work expectancy, and provide a powerful and non-speculative basis to limit future damage awards. While there never has been doubt as to DNA’s power with regard to establishing a person’s identity in paternity and criminal prosecutions, DNA has similar potential with respect to work and life expectancy.

DNA testing has likely remained in the shadows because it is per-ceived as too costly and unlikely to be compelled by a court. This article proposes that these percep-tions may be faulty and DNA testing should be considered by defense counsel in the appropriate case.

DNA Testing

With respect to DNA, science is way ahead of the courts. In 2011 a company introduced a DNA kit that identi�es key markers for sus-ceptibility to 25 diseases includ-ing heart disease, breast cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes.1 The New York Times reported in 2011 that low-priced DNA testing ($290) reveals the length of a per-son’s telomeres, structures that regulate longevity at the cellular level.2 In April 2012, the Times also reported on a study that con-cluded “gene sequencing could, in theory…identify as many as 75

percent of those who will develop Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune thyroid disease, Type 1 diabetes and, for men, heart disease.”3

DNA also has the potential to be useful in disputing medical causa-tion. A National Institute of Health study identi�es the �rst gene forms associated with disc degeneration.4 If plaintiff has a genetic marker for early onset arthritis, arguably the arthritis was not traumatically induced, and knee replacement surgery was inevitable.5

DNA testing has been long rec-ognized as useful and reliable sci-

enti�c evidence. Since 1994, New York statutory law has provided for DNA testing to establish pater-nity6 and allows a convicted felon to utilize DNA to obtain a retrial.7 In the civil area, a handful of courts have compelled involuntary DNA testing to determine paternity and inheritance rights.8

DNA testing is minimally inva-sive since it can be performed with a cheek swab. “Minimally invasive” may not however, be an apt description for DNA’s potential to reveal private health informa-tion which may not be in contro-versy and which may not even be known to the examinee. Neverthe-less, courts thus far have not been overly concerned with privacy.

The idea that DNA testing could be utilized for any relevant and material purpose was �rst consid-ered in 2002 in McGrath v. Nassau

Health Care.9 In McGrath, Magis-trate Judge William Wall concluded that DNA could be compelled in a civil lawsuit for any relevant and material reason, as long as cer-tain elements were satis�ed. Wall rejected the assertion that DNA was somehow extraordinary evi-dence that could only be utilized to “demonstrate liability.”

McGrath involved a claim of workplace sexual harassment. The defendant claimed he and the plain-tiff had regular consensual inter-course prior to the alleged harass-ment, which the plaintiff denied. The intercourse was an important collateral issue of credibility.

Defendant sought a DNA sam-ple from plaintiff to compare it to genetic material from a blanket in his possession allegedly stained with her menstrual blood. Plaintiff moved for a protective order and defendant cross-moved to compel her DNA, pursuant to FRCP 35(a), which authorizes a physical exami-nation if the party’s physical con-dition is “in controversy” and for “good cause.” At an evidentiary hearing, defendant presented test evidence of a DNA profile consistent with a male and female source and blood. Defendant also established the profile could be compared to any reference sample.

Wall reviewed the relevant case law around the country10 and extrapolated three “general principles regarding the standards applicable to demands for a DNA sample.” The �rst being whether there exists “general authority…in the jurisdiction to order a DNA sample and testing” which would be satis�ed by FRCP 35(a) or its state court equivalent such as CPLR §3121(a). Second, “the pri-vacy interests of the party from whom the DNA sample would come” should not outweigh the “State’s interest in providing a reasonable means or forum for its citizens to resolve disputes, [and in] regulating litigation in…[its] courts….” Third, whether there was a “suf�cient factual basis for �nding that production of a DNA sample is warranted.”

With regard to the second element, none of the

erally follows the same federal rules as the rest of the country, New York’s handgun license applications involve a vet-ting process that can take six months. In addition, New York City requires a special permit to own a ri�e or shotgun, and its pistol permits expire every three years.

D.C. Panel Upsets 12-Year Ban Of Purdue Pharma Executives

In a split decision on July 27, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has overturned part of

the penalty against former senior of�cials of Purdue Pharma. The three judge panel in Friedman v. Sebelius, 11-5028, overturned a 12-year exclusion from working in the pharmaceutical and health care industry for former Purdue CEO Michael Friedman, general counsel Howard Udell and medi-cal director Paul Goldenheim.

Purdue was convicted of fraudulently misbranding its drug OxyContin as a less addic-tive alternative to other drugs. The trio was convicted of misde-meanor misbranding. Friedman, Udell and Goldenheim appealed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ ban, which was

upheld by the district court. The government found no evidence the three executives either knew about the misbranding or partici-pated in it (NYLJ, Dec. 15, 2011).

Sidley Austin partner Carter Phillips, who represented Fried-man, Udell and Goldenheim, applauded the decision. “I think the 12 years was out of bounds, and it certainly is gratifying to see the panel describe it in that way,” Phillips said. “It was effectively a professional death penalty.” The case is now being sent back to Health and Human Services Sec-retary Kathleen Sebelius, not the district court, Phillips added.

Reappointment of Bankruptcy Judge Elizabeth Stong

The current term of of� ce of Bankruptcy Judge Elizabeth Stong, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Eastern District of New York, is due to expire on September 1, 2017. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is considering the reappointment of Judge Stong to a new term of of� ce and has determined that she appears to merit reap-pointment subject to public notice and opportunity for public comment.

L. No. 98-353, §§101-122,98 Stat. 333-346. In bankruptcy cases and proceedings referred by the district court, the incumbent would continue to perform the duties of a bankruptcy judge that might include holding status conferences, conducting hearings and trials, making � nal determinations, entering orders and judgments, and submitting proposed � ndings of fact and conclu-sions of law to the district court.

Members of the bar and the public are invited to submit comments for consideration by the Court of Appeals regarding the reappointment of Bankruptcy Judge Elizabeth Stong to a new term of of� ce. All comments will be kept con� dential and should be directed to:

Mandatory Mediation of Certain Commercial Cases—Pilot Project

Starting May 1, 2017, a pilot project in alternative dispute resolution (“the Pilot Project”) will begin operation in a category of commercial actions in the Supreme Court, Civil Branch, New York County. Before deciding to institute the Pilot Project, the court reached out to interested Bar groups and solicited comments and suggestions. The responses received were favorable to the proposed plan for this project.

Beginning in May 2016, Hon. Peter H. Moulton, Administrative Judge of the court, issued two Admin-istrative Orders in which he authorized Justices not assigned to the Commercial Division who carry commercial inventories to refer commercial cases to the Alternative Dispute Resolution Program of the Commercial Division (“the ADR Program”). The Justices so designated may refer such cases to the ADR Program in their discretion.

In addition to such means of referral, Justice Moulton has issued a further Administrative Order, dated April 19, 2017, establishing the Pilot Project. This Order is accessible on the website of the court at www.nycourts.gov/supctmanh (under “Court Resources”).

In the Pilot Project, certain commercial cases shall be automatically referred to mandatory mediation in

the ADR Program in accordance with the Rules and Procedures thereof. The matters that shall proceed to mandatory mediation in the Pilot Project are any and all newly-� led commercial cases that are not assigned to the Commercial Division and in which, upon the � ling of a Request for Judicial Intervention (“RJI”), the � ler has designated the case on the RJI as a “Contract” matter and has requested a preliminary conference.

The staff of the court shall identify all such cases at the time of the � ling of the RJI and assignment of the case to a Justice. In each such case, the staff of the court shall transmit to counsel through the New York State Courts Electronic Filing System (“NYSCEF”) a Notice of Referral to Mandatory Mediation together with a copy of the Administrative Order directing the parties to proceed to mandatory mediation in accordance therewith and with the procedures set forth in the applicable rule of the ADR Program. The Notice will also inform the parties of the date of the scheduled preliminary conference. The ADR Rules are available on the website of the Commercial Divi-sion at the following address:

http://www.nycourts.gov/courts/comdiv/ny/ADR_overview.shtml

Counsel and parties in cases so designated shall proceed to mediation as provided in the Order and the ADR Rules and Procedures and shall adhere to those Rules and Procedures in all respects applicable, including the deadlines set out therein.

As an element of this Project, the court shall estab-lish a centralized Preliminary Conference Part for all Contract cases covered by this Order and a single Justice of the court shall be assigned to that Part. Hon. Anil C. Singh, who has extensive familiarity with commercial litigation, has been designated to undertake this assignment at the outset of the Pilot Project. The Part in question shall be Part PC-CNCD (located in Room 218 at 60 Centre Street (Phone 646-386-3306)). The preliminary conference shall be scheduled in that Part for the earliest date available.

In advance of the preliminary conference, counsel shall discuss with one another all discovery issues in the case, including the possible provision of dis-covery tailored to the mediation directed by the Administrative Order that will assist in making the mediation as ef� cient and productive as possible. Such tailored discovery might include a limited exchange of information on a schedule consistent with the mediation process. Counsel shall discuss all discovery matters with Justice Singh at the confer-ence. Any such tailored or limited discovery as may be agreed upon or directed by the court in connection with the mediation would be without prejudice to a full discovery process for purposes of the litigation. Justice Singh will issue a Preliminary Conference Order addressing all discovery issues outstanding in the case and providing for comprehensive discovery for the litigation, as well as any tailored discovery that may be appropriate for the mediation, and suitable schedules therefor. Counsel shall, within four busi-ness days after the preliminary conference, consult one another and submit an Initiation Form to the ADR Coordinator as provided in the ADR Rules and Procedures, and shall thereafter proceed to media-tion as provided in the Rules.

All court proceedings in these cases other than the preliminary conference shall be conducted by the Justice to whom the case was assigned upon the � ling of the RJI.

A case otherwise subject to mandatory media-tion in the Pilot Project may be exempted from such mediation upon a satisfactory showing that an apply-ing party would be subjected to unreasonable hard-ship or burden by participation in the mediation. A party seeking an exemption shall apply therefor at the preliminary conference. Failure to seek an exemp-tion in this manner shall constitute a waiver of any objection to the mediation.

Failure to comply with the Administrative Order or with the ADR Rules and Procedures may subject the party or counsel in question to sanctions.
