Law360 [PDF] has reported on a recent $600,000 settlement reached between our client Amin Booker and the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Mr. Booker was held in solitary confinement for more than five years in a New York state prison, confined to a windowless cell for 23 hours a day while missing visits from his family. Mr. Booker said he was the victim of retaliation for whistleblowing on mistreatment by corrections officers.
Partner Justine Goeke explained that Mr. Booker’s settlement is one example of many agreements that New York state and the DOCCS have reached with people in solitary confinement. She said that when the attorney general’s office saw the firm was prepared to go to trial, they quickly offered to settle.
“We have a compelling client that speaks clearly about the abuses of the prison system, we already had a finding of liability by a district court judge on one of the claims — I mean, that set the floor,” Justine said. “When we showed the AG’s office that we were ready to go, they came to the table with a significant settlement offer.”
In addition to Justine, our team included associates Marc Aaron Takagaki, Kate Goldberg, Teddy Kristek, Sophie White, Dennis Ting, and Apratim Vidyarthi.

A team at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher led by Harris Mufson secured an injunction for insurance client Marsh against U.K. broker Howden and seven former Marsh managers and account executives based in Florida who left to launch Howden’s Sunshine State operations. According to court filings, Marsh has seen 160 Marsh employees and more than 80 clients move to Howden as part of a mass hire launched last year. U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon in Manhattan held this week that Marsh was likely to succeed on its breach-of-contract claims against the former employees and its tortious interference claims against Howden. Rochon barred further solicitation of Marsh employees and clients, or misuse of confidential Marsh information, which she ordered to be returned. The judge, however, stopped short of barring Howden and the former employees from servicing former Marsh clients presently at Howden, finding that such a move would deny customers the brokers of their choice, without any evidence that the customers would return to Marsh.
The Gibson team representing Marsh includes partner Brian Richman and of counsel Amanda Machin.

Koeltl in Manhattan this week granted their motion to dismiss infringement claims brought by Bprotocol Foundation and LocalCoin Ltd. under two related patents for a “constant product automated market maker” system.
