New York: First Department of Supreme Court Rules Court Administrators Lack Authority to Merge Bronx Courts

On February 23, 2010 a divided Panel of the Appellate Division, First Department, New York Supreme Court ruled in People v. Correa (2010 NY Slip Op. 01533) that the 2004 merger of the criminal courts in the Bronx into a single court with jurisdiction to handle both felonies and misdemeanors is unconstitutional.

In the absence of a stay, misdemeanor cases will again only be assigned to judges who have been appointed to the New York Supreme Court. The plan is for judges to continue sitting in hybrid parts, with misdemeanors being heard as Criminal Court cases and felonies as Supreme Court matters.

In dissent, Justice Rolando T. Acosta warned that the majority's "unbridled judicial activism effectively upends tens of thousands of mesdemeanor convictions in Bronx County over the past five years."
