Federal Judge Dismisses Suit by Prosecutor’s Former Political Rival

A federal judge last week largely dismissed a lawsuit that alleged Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes and New York state court officials had violated the rights of Sandra E. Roper, a former political challenger of Hynes. Judge William H. Pauley III said Roper could not sustain her allegations against the defendants in their official capacities. Roper lost her job as a court attorney for Civil Court Judge Peter Sweeney after a special prosecutor indicted her for fraud, forgery and larceny in 2003.
