Daniels v. City of New York
Citation: 13 F. App'x 20Docket: No. 01-7469
Court: Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit; June 12, 2001; Federal Appellate Court
The order vacates the previous decision permitting defendants to appeal and staying discovery in a case involving alleged constitutional violations by the New York City Police Department's Street Crime Unit. Plaintiffs initiated the action on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, seeking class certification for injunctive and declaratory relief, which was granted by the District Court on January 25, 2001. Defendants filed a petition for leave to appeal this certification on March 26, 2001, which was granted on May 1, 2001, alongside a stay on discovery. The stay was later modified to apply only to an unredacted version of the UF-230 police database. After reconsideration, the court determined that the May 1 order was improvidently granted, thus vacating it. The appeal is dismissed without prejudice, allowing for potential future consideration of the issues raised.
