CONGRATULATIONS TOWN OF CORTLANDT SEA WOLVES

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Congratulations to the Town of Cortlandt Recreation Department’s 2nd–4th Grade Tackle Football (TOC Sea Wolves) team on an exciting season opener against the White Plains Tigers!

With beautiful weather setting the stage on Saturday, our young Sea Wolves took the field ready to compete. They showed tremendous determination, teamwork, and enthusiasm from start to finish—and, most importantly, they had a whole lot of fun doing what they love.

We are so proud of the effort and sportsmanship these boys demonstrated in their first game of the season. What a great way to kick off the year! Way to go, Sea Wolves! Keep working hard, keep having fun, and keep making Cortlandt proud! PHOTO AT Facebook

FOR YOUR FILES--CASE DOCKET NUMBERS, CHRONOLOGICAL MILESTONES, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, DEFENDING EDUCATION, CROTON HARMON SCHOOL DISTRICT

Have had a lot of questions on much of this.  Happy to help when possible. 

For those readers without Pacer and such accounts...(we're lucky and have readers who share), Google AI can often come to the rescue.

Indeed, of all the AI platforms out there, many find this to be the most reliable for docket numbers, court info, etc. Last names rarely get misspelled (that can be common with some AI programs although it is getting better).

The reality is--this case is in the hands of the lawyers now---and that it may be a long slog---and some time before there is anything new. For now, Google AI says--and attorney readers have confirmed:

The official docket listings provide the formal paper trail for the revival of the case following the appellate court's landmark ruling.

The Appellate Court Mandate--Docket Number: 24-1900 (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit) - The Second Circuit formally issued its decision to Reverse and Remand. This means they legally wiped away the previous dismissal and commanded the lower federal court to open the case back up. You can review the underlying opinion entry on the Justia 2nd Circuit Appeal Hub. [1, 2]

The Lower Federal Court Docket Revival--Docket Number: 7:24-cv-04485 (U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York). Judge Cathy Seibel--Current Status: Re-opened. Following the September 15 decision, attorneys representing Defending Education immediately transmitted and filed the Second Circuit's mandate directly onto Judge Seibel's district court docket. This action overrides the July 11 dismissal order and officially pulls Case 7:24-cv-04485 out of "terminated" status.[1, 2, 3]

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT ON THE DOCKET

Now that the mandate is active in the Southern District, Judge Seibel is expected to issue a scheduling order. This order will establish deadlines for the Croton-Harmon School District to file a formal answer to the original complaint, layout discovery timelines, and set dates for oral arguments regarding Defending Ed’s pending motion for a preliminary injunction against the district's policies.
