Notable cases
Hiram Monserrate case
| United States District Court for the Southern District of New York *Monserrate v. NEW YORK STATE SENATE 695 F. Supp. 2d 80 |
|---|
| Judge Pauley denied an request by former New York State Senator Hiram Monserrate to stop a decision made by the New York Senate to expel him on February 9, 2010.[3]
Monserrate was expelled after being convicted of domestic violence towards his girlfriend which is considered a misdemeanor.[3] The case was appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, but the appellate court ruled that the district court "did not abuse its discretion in determining that the Monserrate Appellants failed to establish a likelihood of success on the merits of any of the claims they press on appeal. We thus need not reach any of the other arguments advanced by the parties. For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court's denial of the preliminary injunction."[4] |
Dot-com collusion
| United States District Court for the Southern District of New York |
|---|
| Judge Pauley on March 18, 2010, ruled against striking down a regulation that prohibits collusion between investment bankers and analysts at Wall Street firms. The ruling comes after the largest firms on Wall Street in 2009 wanted a 2003 rule that prohibited unsupervised contact between investment bankers and analysts overturned. The judge emphasized in his decision that there needs to be separation between independent analysts and bankers if confidence in the markets can be improved.[5] |
