New York Supreme Court June 11, 2008 (Larabee v. Governor of New York)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Edward H. Lehner, J.

The principal issue before me on plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment is whether it is unconstitutional under the circumstances herein for defendants to have deprived the judiciary of a salary adjustment for almost a decade due to linkage of the judicial pay issue to measures dealing with legislative compensation and other unrelated substantive matters.
