    On Sunday, I worked all day on an application for emergent relief in the Appellate Division seeking a stay of an order that removed visitation restrictions (between an infant girl and a guy who has an addiction to rape incest pornography) after a trial court erroneously stated that a DCPP (DYFS) determination was controlling.

    On Monday morning, the Appellate Division denied my application.


    This evening at 5:13 PM, Justice Anne Patterson reversed the Appellate Division and stayed the order.  I'm handing it off to trial counsel with high hopes of a just result.

    Days like this are why we practice this kind of law.  Never give up when you're right and it's an important issue.

    Congrats David - I know how hard that is....sometimes we wonder if it's all worth it -- other times we remember we are doing something that matters and it feels so good when that win  comes in!

    Good for you. I've had to leapfrog over the App. Div. on emergent applications myself. I find Division involvement in my cases utterly exhausting. Wild West shows, many of them. Once again, good for you!

    Just wanted to thank everyone who responded (on-list and off) on the issue of my interlocutory appeal that went to the Supreme Court (reversing an Appellate Division order denying a stay).  We received the formal decision today (after two more trips up to the Appellate Division, including an emergent reversal of an order transferring residential custody obtained at 7:30 PM on a Saturday while the police were literally at the door to remove a child). 

    The Appellate Division reversed the orders in question and remanded for further proceedings before a different judge.

    Opinion is attached, for anyone interested.

    Awesome and correct win, Dave. The App. Div. opinion is well reasoned.

    Good luck on the remand.

    I read the opinion and I think it is well reasoned and clear -- you even got remand to a different judge, which is hard to get!  I was waiting to see what happened, and I am very happy for you and your client.  Sometimes the system does work!  Congratulations.
