Restraining order intrigue clouds fate of Carroll Gardens homeless shelter
Adding a level of intrigue to the legal maneuverings of the city in the case of a controversial men’s homeless shelter it plans for Carroll Gardens, the city’s Department of Homeless Services has denied that a temporary restraining order was issued by Judge David Schmidt on November 20.
By way of evidence, the Department of Homeless Services (DOHS) has sent out a copy of the restraining order issued by the judge on November 20.
“The petitioner’s application for a temporary restraining order (TRO) was denied,” Heather Janik, Press Secretary at DOHS told the Brooklyn Eagle via email on November 29. Janik said that since Judge Schmidt had crossed out part of the requests by the petitioner before approving the order, the order was not approved.
