Biographical Note Born on October 1, 1924 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, William Hubbs Rehnquist served in the Army Air Corps in North Africa during World War II. Once the war ended he attended Stanford University, where he received a B.A. in political science. He then earned master's degrees from both Stanford and Harvard, before completing Stanford Law School in 1952. After completing law school, Rehnquist served as a clerk to Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson. Rehnquist married Natalie Cornell, whom he had met at Stanford during his law school years, on August 29, 1953. They had three children. Rehnquist practiced law in Phoenix, Arizona, from 1953 to 1969, becoming active in Republican politics during this time. Joining President Richard Nixon's administration in 1969 as head of the office of legal counsel in the Justice Department, in October 1971, President Nixon nominated Rehnquist to be an associate justice on the Supreme Court. Rehnquist served as an associate justice until 1986, when President Ronald Reagan nominated him to replace retiring Chief Justice Warren Earl Burger. Rehnquist was the sixteenth Chief Justice, serving more than 30 years on the Supreme Court. He has the distinction of serving as the second Chief Justice in U.S. history to preside over an impeachment trial of a president, in 1999. A notable decision in Rehnquist's tenure as chief justice was Bush v. Gore (2000), which effectively decided the 2000 presidential election for George W. Bush by stopping the recount of contested ballots in Florida. As Chief Justice, Rehnquist stated that his goal was to be remembered as a good administrator. Known for his strong leadership, conservative interpretation of the Constitution, and decisions enhancing the power of the states in the federal system, Rehnquist retained his conservative perspective throughout his tenure on the Court. Ill with thyroid cancer, Rehnquist served as Chief Justice as long as his health permitted. He died on September 3, 2005, in Arlington, Virginia, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

PEEBLES CHIEF U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE Case 9:17-cv-00874-DNH-DEP Document 32 Filed 08/06/18 Page 2 of 47 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Pro se plaintiff Kenneth Tyson, a New York State prison inmate, has commenced this action against two corrections employees stationed at the prison facility in which plaintiff was confined at the relevant times pursuant 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging the deprivation of his civil rights. Specifically, plaintiff asserts a First Amendment retaliation cause of action against defendants based on his claim that defendant Compo planted a weapon in his cell and issued plaintiff a misbehavior report concerning the matter, and defendant Vasile presided over an ensuing disciplinary hearing and found plaintiff guilty as charged, all allegedly in retaliation for plaintiff having previously filed grievances against other corrections employees. Currently pending before the court is a summary judgment motion brought by defendants seeking the dismissal of plaintiff's remaining retaliation claims. In their motion defendants argue that no reasonable factfinder could conclude plaintiff's protected conduct bore a causal relationship to the alleged retaliatory acts, principally because defendants were not implicated in the grievances filed by plaintiff prior to defendants' alleged retaliatory acts.

    www.commoncause.org/ny July 9, 2018 Barbara Underwood Acting Attorney General Office of the Attorney General The Capitol Albany, NY 12224-0341 Dear Attorney General Underwood: We are writing to bring to your attention and request prompt investigation by the Office of Attorney General under Not-for-profit Corporation Law § 112 of apparent illegal political activities by the Lincoln Civic Block Association, Inc., a New York not-for-profit corporation under the control of New resources to benefit his campaign. April 18, 2018.1 Our own review has found some additional troubling problems. Apparent illegal use of LCBA resources: LCBA is apparently allowing Sen. Hamilton to operate a political office in an apartment it owns but charging him far below market rate rent. Property records indicate that the LCBA apartment Sen. Hamilton is using is subject to a mortgage that limits its use to a residence for a low income family, and that the apartment zoned for residential use only. in kind contribution to Sen. Hamilton that exceeds the amount that a corporation is allowed contribute to a candidate for a New York public office 1 W.

Questionable Use of Corporate Assets The building at 284 New York should provide LCBA substantial annual rent income but the use of this income is unknown because LCBA has not made a public financial disclosure since 2006 and provided only limited public financial information for 2004, 2005, and 2006.

  • May 21 Weekly Report
    NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY WEEKLY REPORT Assistant Speake FELIX W. ORTIZ Working for Our Community in Albany and Brooklyn May 21, 2018 NEW YORK’S FIRST WOMAN ATTORNEY GENERAL ELECTED BY LEGISLATURE Congratulations to Barbara Underwood on her election by the legislature to the Office of Attorney General of New York State. The election of our first female attorney general represents a milestone in state history. I have long advocated for legislation that advances the women’s agenda. During the 2018 legislative session, I helped to secure passage of a legislative package that protects and advances the women of New York State. This year we passed a state budget that implements the nation’s most aggressive program to combat sexual harassment, legislation that keeps guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, and a series of bills that addresses a gender gap that holds women back In the labor force. For more information about my fight for the Fair Pay Act: click here. ORTIZ SUPPORTS VETERANS DURING ARMED FORCES DAY On Saturday, May 19th, Armed Forces Day, I honored all those who serve and have served this great nation. As a veteran myself, I have supported many veteran initiatives. Throughout the month of May, I have had two bills that help veterans pass the assembly. Bill A-04538A makes it easier for service-connected disabled veterans to obtain deer management permits and bill A-03447 creates an initiative to help with mental illness and chemical dependency of veterans. For more information about my legislations: click here and here. Our disabled veterans deserve the best, especially after sacrificing for this great nation.

    Acting Attorney General Barbara Underwood New York State Department of Law 120 Broadway New York, NY 10271 VIA EMAIL: [email protected] Dear Acting Attorney General Underwood, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the sale of Fidelis Care New York assets to the Centene Corporation. As a federally qualified health center (FQHC), Hudson River Healthcare is particularly pleased that a substantial portion of the sale proceeds will be used to endow a new foundation to support programs that benefit the health of New York’s poor and underserved populations. FQHCs, also known as community health clinics, are non-profit, community run centers located in medically underserved areas that provide high-quality, cost effective primary care, including behavioral and oral health services, to anyone seeking it, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. Each FQHC is governed by a consumer-majority board of directors who seek to identify and prioritize the services most needed by their communities. Today, New York’s 750 FQHC sites serve 2.2 million, or one in nine, New Yorkers annually. Statewide, nearly 90% of patients served are below 200% of the federal poverty level, 59% receive Medicaid, and 16% are uninsured, although numbers at individual health centers vary. In short, FQHCs are New York’s primary care safety net providers—keeping people well in the community and out of higher cost institutional based settings. Fidelis Care has been aligned with New York’s FQHCs since its origins in Brooklyn and Queens as one of the first provider sponsored health plans in the state.

  • The Common Law Powers of the New York State Attorney General
    THE COMMON LAW POWERS OF THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL Bennett Liebman* The role of the Attorney General in New York State has become increasingly active, shifting from mostly defensive representation of New York to also encompass affirmative litigation on behalf of the state and its citizens. As newly-active state Attorneys General across the country begin to play a larger role in national politics and policymaking, the scope of the powers of the Attorney General in New York State has never been more important. This Article traces the constitutional and historical development of the At- torney General in New York State, arguing that the office retains a signifi- cant body of common law powers, many of which are underutilized. The Article concludes with a discussion of how these powers might influence the actions of the Attorney General in New York State in the future.

  • Electing Black Mayors
    Electing Black Mayors Political Action in the Black Community William E. Nelson, Jr. and Philip J. Meranto $20.00 ELECTING BLACK MAYORS Political Action in the Black Community By William E. Nelson, Jr., and Philip J. Meranto As the black protest movement swept north in the middle years of the 1960s, a major shift was to take place in its basic theme and fundamental direction that transferred emphasis from the familiar exhortation to demand "freedom now" to an equally urgent summons to marshal the formidable, if un­ tapped, resources of "black power" in the struggle for liberation. This alteration in both informing idea and effective method signified conclusively that blacks, grown angry and frustrated over the slow rate of their social and economic prog­ ress as an oppressed minority, were finally prepared to realize their potential force in order to exercise a decisive measure of po­ litical control over their own lives. As a call to action, black power reflected a growing sense of community among blacks, a fresh awareness of shared experience and a common heritage. More importantly, however, it was both a challenge posed by blacks to themselves to gain some increased measure of control over the institutions of that community, and an appeal for black solidarity and concerted political action as the essential means to that end. An increased concentration of blacks in the major cities of the northern and western United States had come about as the direct result of one of the most significant demographic changes to occur in the nation in the twentieth century.
