Malliotakis IDNYC case heads to court
Democratic lawyer Ravi Batra joins legal team
As the lawsuit filed by Assemblymembers Nicole Malliotakis and Ron Castorina against the city over the de Blasio administration’s IDNYC program was set to head to back to court on Jan. 5, the plaintiffs unveiled new legal firepower in their case.
Malliotakis, Castorina and their lawyer Jeffrey Alfano announced on the steps of City Hall on Jan. 3 that prominent attorney Ravi Batra had agreed to join their case on a pro bono basis.
Malliotakis and Castorina, who are both Republicans, are suing to prevent the de Blasio Administration from purging government documents acquired through the IDNYC application process.
