MPH Prevails in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the decision of the District Court (EDNY), which last year granted MPH’s comprehensive motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims against the Firm’s municipal clients. The case, which sought in excess of $30 million in damages, asserted complex federal and state law claims for defamation, stigma-plus (due process), breach of contract, and Section 1983 liability. The Firm’s Second Circuit victory was featured in an article in Law360. Timothy Hill argued the appeal at the Second Circuit in Manhattan, and the decision was issued on June 29, 2022.
