SUMMARY RECAPT -- 5 COURT OF APPEALS ORDERS:

Following the Appellate Division, Third Department's December 27, 2018 decision in CJA v. Cuomo, Appellants’ took an appeal of right to the Court of Appeals – entitlement to which they established by a March 26, 2019 letter and accompanying “legal autopsy”/analysis of the decision.  By a May 2, 2019 order, 33 NY3d 993, this was dismissed, as to which Appellants’ made a May 31, 2019 motion for reargument/renewal/vacatur.  This was denied by an October 24, 2019 order, 34 NY3d 960.   By a separate October 24, 2019 order, 34 NY3d 961, Appellants’ June 6, 2019 motion for leave to appeal was denied.  A third October 24, 2019 order, 34 NY3d 961, denied Appellants’ August 8, 2019 motion to strike AG James’ opposition brief to their May 31, 2019 and June 6, 2019 motions. Thereafter, Appellants made a November 25, 2019 vacatur/reargument/renewal motion, addressed to these four orders.  This was denied by a fifth order, on February 18, 2020, 34 NY3d 1147.
