Vidal v. Venettozzi - Prison Disciplinary Due Process

The Second Circuit vacated summary judgment for New York DOCCS officials in Vidal v. Venettozzi, holding that 180-270 days of disciplinary segregation in the Special Housing Unit constitutes an atypical and significant hardship triggering Fourteenth Amendment due process protections. The court remanded for further proceedings on Joseph Vidal's claim that he was denied the opportunity to call witnesses and present evidence at his disciplinary hearing.

Waldman v. Palestine Liberation Org. - Motion Decision

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a motion decision in Waldman v. Palestine Liberation Org., addressing procedural matters in this consolidated appeal involving terrorism-related claims. The case involves families of American terrorism victims suing the PLO, Palestinian Authority, and individual defendants for attacks in Israel. The court decided the motion filed August 11, 2025, but this decision does not resolve the merits of the underlying claims.

Ramsay v. Bondi - Immigration Motion to Reopen Review

The Second Circuit granted John Marcus Ramsay's petition challenging the BIA's denial of his motion to reopen a 2007 removal order, finding the BIA misread his arguments regarding equitable tolling of filing deadlines. The court remanded the case for reconsideration after finding Ramsay acted with due diligence following the Minter decision that rendered his underlying conviction statute overbroad. Ramsay, a 70-year-old Jamaican lawful permanent resident and US Navy veteran, was deported in 2007 based on a 1996 drug conviction.
