2 • Queens Daily Eagle • Monday, December 9, 2019 ‘This rule change is cold, heartless and despicable’ By Mary Frost BQ Daily Eagle The Trump administration has unveiled changes to the USDA’s SNAP program (formerly called food stamps), which may make roughly 70,000 low-income New York City residents inel- igible for the program. The cutbacks could hit Brooklyn hard, since Brooklyn has more SNAP recipients than any other borough in the city, roughly 580,000 in 2017, according to city data. The new requirements will prevent many adults between the ages of 18 and 49 who are able-bodied and have no dependents from quali- fying for the program. Currently, ABAWDs (Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents) must work 20 or more hours every week in order to be eligible to receive SNAP benefits. If not, SNAP benefits are limited to three months in a three-year period. However, states have been allowed to create waivers for areas that face high unemployment, such as a town where a factory has closed down or in a neighborhood with few employment opportunities. The new rule would restrict the use of waivers to those areas that have a 6 percent unemployment rate or higher. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national unemployment rate in Oc- tober was 3.6 percent. “Every time we think we’ve hit rock bottom, the president sets the bar for his cruelty even low- 70K New Yorkers could lose food stamps under Trump admin’s new rule.

The announcement came at the NYPD’s final crime briefing of the year, the first briefing presided over by new Police Commissioner Dermot Shea. So far in 2019, 299 people have been murdered, as opposed to 275 year-to-date last year, according to cops. “We are very focused on the challenge of ho- micide … That’s simply not acceptable,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio at the press conference. “I want it to be clear. Everyone is doing their job, and everyone is digging deeper to get under the skin of this problem and address it, but we are not going to accept this situation.” In Brooklyn, homicides have actually trend- ed around the same as last year, with certain pockets of the borough seeing sharp increases in homicides while shootings and killings fall in other areas. Ninety-five people have been killed in the borough so far this year as opposed to 93 in the same time frame last year. In Crown Heights’ 77th Precinct, more people — four — were killed in a single mass shooting at an illegal gambling den than were killed year- to-date in all of 2019. Fourteen people have been killed in the central Brooklyn neighborhood so far this year, as opposed to two in the same time in 2018.

12 • SECOND DEPARTMENT/Brooklyn/Daily Eagle • Monday, December 9, 2019 As Dems zero in on White House, Trump racks up court losses By Eric Tucker The Associated Press President Donald Trump knows he has fierce Democratic adver- saries in Congress. But there is also ample push-back from the judiciary branch, where black-robed judges who sit in courtrooms just blocks from the Capitol and in New York City have repudiated his view of executive power. Federal judges in the last two months have accused Trump administration lawyers of “openly stonewalling” and of regarding presidents as kings while also deriding Justice Department legal positions as “extraordinary,” “exactly backwards” and just plain “wrong.” Taken together, the court rulings eviscerate the administration’s muscular view of executive power just as the impeachment inquiry against Trump accelerates. And they embolden Democrats in their pursuit of investigations into Trump’s government and finances.

Monday, December 9, 2019 • SECOND DEPARTMENT/Queens/Daily Eagle • 13 RECENT COURT DECISIONS AND APPEALS

By C. B. Abruzzese Brooklyn Daily Eagle AFTER FAILING JUDICIAL DIVERSION PROGRAM, CONVICTION STANDS Appellate Division, Second Department In the Appellate Division, Second Department, Anar Gavrilov appealed his conviction for grand larceny in the fourth degree which was rendered, upon Gavrilov’s plea of guilty, by Hon. Joseph Gubbay in Kings County Supreme Court, Criminal Term. During the trial, the Supreme Court granted the then-24-year- old defendant’s request for a substance abuse evaluation over an objection by the prosecution. Gavrilov then moved to participate in a judicial diversion program without being required to enter a plea of Hon. Joseph Gubbay guilty. As a native of Azerbaijan and a Eagle file photo by Rob Abruzzese lawful permanent resident of the United States, Gavrilov argued exceptional circumstances existed that warranted such relief since the entry of a plea of guilty would have likely resulted in “severe collateral consequences,” namely, deportation. In response, the Supreme Court determined that he could participate in the judicial diversion program; however, it denied his request to forego the requirement that he enter a plea of guilty. Gavrilov then pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the fourth degree in exchange for the court’s promise that, if he successfully completed the judicial diversion program, the plea would be vacated and the indictment dismissed. However, if Gavrilov failed to complete the program successfully, he would be sentenced to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 18 months to three years. During the plea proceeding, Gavrilov was adjudicated as a second felony offender after admitting that he had a prior felony conviction in 2012 for grand larceny in the fourth degree and after declining to challenge the constitutionality of that conviction. According to the record, Gavrilov also confirmed his understanding that, if he was not a citizen of the United States, his plea of guilty could have adverse immigration consequences. Under the judicial diversion program, Gavrilov violated a condition of his release and, on Aug. 11, 2017, the Supreme Court imposed the promised sentence of imprisonment. Upon Gavrilov’s appeal, the justices of the Second Department noted that while the possibility of deportation may be an “unwelcome and adverse consequence of a conviction,” and may, under certain circumstances, constitute a severe collateral consequence, they declined to adopt a “rule” requiring courts to allow every eligible defendant subject to deportation to participate in judicial diversion without first pleading guilty. In their review of Gavrilov’s case, the justices found that he had an extensive criminal history, mainly involving theft-related crimes, and a pattern of noncompliance with vari- ous treatment programs. The justices also noted that the record demonstrated that Gavrilov failed to appear at a number of appointments to be evaluated for judicial diversion. As such, they affirmed the Supreme Court’s determination not to permit Gavrilov, on the basis of “exceptional circumstances,” to participate in judicial diversion without first pleading guilty. —People v. Gavrilov, 2017-12192, Dec. 4, 2019 ••• STORE NOT AT FAULT DESPITE JURY DETERMINATION ON LIABILITY Appellate Division, Second Department Restaurant Depot, LLC, appealed a judgment of the Queens County Supreme Court, Civil Term that denied its motion for summary judgment, dismissing the complaint asserted against it. On Dec. 19, 2012, Patricia Novak was a customer at Restaurant Depot when she was knocked to the floor by a U-Boat shopping cart, stacked high with items, that was being pushed by another customer. Novak then filed a complaint against Restaurant Depot to recover damages for the injuries she allegedly sustained. In response, Restaurant Depot moved for summary judgment, dismissing the complaint asserted against it and was denied by the Supreme Court. Following a trial, the jury found the store was 70 percent at fault for the accident happening and awarded damages in favor of Novak. Restaurant Depot then appealed. In the Appellate Division, Second Department, Restaurant Depot con- tended that it was entitled to summary judgment because it did not have a duty to control the conduct of the customer who struck Novak. In response, Nicole Aupperlee, who was substitut- ed as the plaintiff following Novak’s death while the appeal was ongoing, argued that Restaurant Depot was negligent in failing to monitor its customers’ use of the shopping carts and, specifically, in failing to require customers to refrain from loading the carts over a certain height. The justices determined that the store did not owe Novak a duty to protect her from negligent use of the shopping cart because it did not have control over the customer’s actions. Accordingly, the justices found that Restaurant Depot was entitled to summary judgment, dismissing the complaint, and the order of the Supreme Court was reversed. —Aupperlee v. Restaurant Depot, LLC, 2016-13369, Nov. 27, 2019
