WPCNR WHITE PLAINS LAW JOURNAL. June 29, 2004: The Attorney General's office has filed a motion with the Appellate Court, Second Department in Brooklyn, asking the Appellate Court to deny a stay (which would keep Glen Hockley in his Council seat) while Mr. Hockley appeals the quo warranto decision rendered by Judge Francis Nicolai earlier this month, requiring Mr. Hockley to step down from the Common Council.

The papers argue that Mr. Hockley is not entitled to the stay because he is a private citizen, and not a duly elected member of the Common Council, and also note that Mr. Hockley's cases cited for the stay involve corporate offices, and not elected offices. The papers ask the Appellate Court to not grant a stay, and consider the case as an election case, setting early arguments for the appeal.
