Fishkin Lucks Secures Dismissal of 1983 Action on Eve of Summary Judgment Hearing

Fishkin Lucks secured a voluntary dismissal with prejudice today of a Section 1983 action brought against our client, The Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA), in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The case was brought by a former DRBA employee who alleged, among other things, that DRBA police officers violated her civil rights in connection with their investigation of allegations that she stole money from the DRBA. The dismissal was the product of admissions we secured through aggressive discovery, and followed our filing of a motion for summary judgment dismissal of all claims.
