J. Wilson finds that the appellate division improperly dismissed a developer's claims seeking damages for breach of a redevelopment contract based on repudiation. The agreement to turn a single-room-occupancy hotel into a mixed-use residential/commercial building required that the site include some low-income housing, which was complicated by a subsequent court settlement mandating the addition of rent-stabilized units. Written notification stating the property owner could not agree to the latter as altering the parties' original contract supported allegations of anticipatory repudiation. Reversed in part.

Per curiam, the Louisiana appellate court finds that the trial court should not have denied the state’s motion to disqualify a doctor who provided a report to the court regarding defendant’s competency. After the doctor rendered her expert opinion regarding defendant’s competency, the defense hired her as their expert to examine defendant and render an opinion regarding his sanity at the time of the offense. Therefore, the doctor cannot be considered independent from her role as a court-appointed expert of the sanity commission. Vacated in part.

Per curiam, the circuit finds that the district court properly dismissed free speech claims concerning a local law that establishes "bubble zones" that prevent women seeking abortions from being disturbed as they approach or exit facilities in Westchester County. Precedent holds that such laws are constitutional because they are content neutral and serve safety interests by shielding people from unwanted communication. However, the court improperly held that plaintiff, a 64-year-old Catholic, lacked standing to sue because she demonstrated she faced a credible threat of prosecution if she were to become a "sidewalk counselor" who engages women outside clinics. Affirmed in part.
