LAWSUIT SEEKING TO ENJOIN JUDICIAL SALARY INCREASES WAS PROPERLY DISMISSED (THIRD DEPT). ​

The Third Department determined summary judgment dismissing the action brought by the Center for Judicial Accountability was properly granted:

… [P]laintiff Center for Judicial Accountability, Inc. (hereinafter CJA) and plaintiff Elena Ruth Sassower, CJA’s director, commenced this action seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that the bill establishing the budgets for the Legislature and the Judiciary for the 2016-2017 fiscal year … was unconstitutional and also seeking an injunction permanently enjoining respondents from making certain disbursements under the bill, including judicial salary increases. * * *

… Supreme Court properly granted defendants’ cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the sixth cause of action … which alleged that the enabling statute that created the Commission [Commission on Legislative, Judicial and Executive Compensation] is facially unconstitutional with respect to judicial compensation. Center for Jud. Accountability, Inc. v Cuomo, 2018 NY Slip Op 08996, Third Dept 12-27-18
