ICYMI. Appellate Division Judges Lisa Firko and Robert M. Vinci overturned those rulings that were against a shuttle driver at Newark Liberty International Airport in his attempt to find relevant parties through discovery.

“Under the circumstances presented, we are satisfied plaintiff sufficiently identified other parties with potential liability for his incident in his amended complaint. We also conclude, based on the facts and circumstances of this case, plaintiff acted diligently,” the Appellate Division wrote.

The law allows state officials to deny permission for projects that have an undue impact on minority and low income communities. Appellate Division Judges Heidi Willis Currier, Maritza Berdote Byrne and Jeffrey Jablonski said the state Department of Environmental Protection "did not exceed its authority and reasonably interpreted the environmental law's provisions for assessing the effects of localized pollution and public health impacts of overburdened communities by identifying reasonable environmental and public health stressors for analysis."

Dennis Toft of Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi argued at the Appellate Division on behalf of International Union of Operating Engineers Local 825, which challenged the law alongside the New Jersey Chapter of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc.

The New Jersey Business and Industry Association submitted an amicus curiae brief and was represented by Lawrence Bluestone of Genova Burns in Newark, along with that firm's Angelo Genova and Kenneth Sheehan on the brief.

The Chemical Council of New Jersey, another amicus in the case, was represented by Brian Montag of K&L Gates in Newark.

Replacing Alina Habba as New Jersey's U.S. attorney with a three-person management team raises the same red flags the Third Circuit found in Habba's appointment, according to attorneys for two criminal defendants, who allege the current arrangement is illegal.

"This controversy is very simply about the rule of law," attorney Jason LeBoeuf told reporter Charles Toutant.

LeBoeuf represents Daniel Torres, who is under indictment in the District of New Jersey on drug charges.

Rahul Agarwal of Friedman Kaplan Seiler Adelman & Robbins in New York and Scottsdale, Arizona, lawyer Doug Passon represent Raheel Naviwala, who faces conspiracy charges tied to alleged Medicare.

"This 'executive office' is just as illegitimate as was Alina Habba’s appointment, and so both the 'executive office' and its members should be disqualified for the same reasons," Agarwal and Passon wrote a recent motion.
