A headline in last week’s edition, “Federal judge: Suit is hot air,” suggested that federal magistrate Robert Levy had recommended that a suit against Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project be dismissed because it lacked merit.
In fact, as the article pointed out, Levy said, “The complaint raises serious and difficult questions regarding the exercise of eminent domain under emerging Supreme Court jurisprudence.”
Levy did recommend that the suit be dismissed — because he believes it should be heard in state, not federal, court.
Our headline should have better reflected what the story reported, namely that Levy was ruling on jurisdictional grounds, not on the merits of the case. — The Editors
