Banks Beat Victims Suits Over Hamas Funding At 2nd Circ.
Law360 (April 7, 2021, 11:13 PM EDT) The Second Circuit on Wednesday affirmed lower court rulings that National Westminster Bank PLC and Credit Lyonnais SA can t be held liable under the Antiterrorism Act for providing banking services to an organization accused of funding the Hamas terrorist group.
In a 47-page opinion, a unanimous three-judge panel held that U.S. District Judge Dora L. Irizarry got it right in dismissing multiple ATA lawsuits brought by hundreds of terrorist attack victims against the banks, finding that there is a dearth of evidence showing that the organization actually funded a series of Hamas-backed terrorists attacks.

Law360 (January 8, 2021, 8:01 PM EST) A New York City educational institution that trains in specialized fields lost its bid to toss a former recruiter s putative overtime collective action, after a federal judge ruled that the organization s argument for dismissal departed from the recruiter s allegations.
U.S. District Judge Dora L. Irizarry denied a motion to dismiss by Metropolitan Learning Institute Inc., which has locations in Queens and Brooklyn, in a memorandum and order Thursday. The judge rejected the organization s argument that its recruiters fell within the outside sales overtime exemption of the Fair Labor Standards Act, ruling that Sandra Heras amended complaint did not sufficiently articulate job.
