Four appellate justices among seven candidates for Court of Appeals seat

ALBANY, N.Y.(Reuters) - The New York State Commission on Judicial Nomination has nominated seven people, including four Appellate Division justices, to fill the Court of Appeals seat vacated by the death of Judge Theodore Jones.

Note: Particular attention should be given to The New York State Commission on Judicial Nomination of, at the very least, 61 year old Eugene M. Fahey. In 2010, Justice Fahey was redesignated as an associate justice of the Appellate Division, Fourth Department by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. In addition, both Justice Fahey and then New York State Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, among others, were party to a shameful chapter in New York State Supreme Court history ~ a NYS Supreme Court Decision that speaks loudly on the 'system of justice' in New York State.
