NYCdog representatives
on the steps of the State Supreme Court in Queens on August 29,
2006 give a press conference while inside the courthouse, a judge
hears oral arguments in the case that threatens to end Offleash
Hours.
Bob Marino, NYCdog
President, speaks with the media during the courthouse press conference
on August 29, 2006
Matthew Greller, an attorney from the Law Firm of
Blank, Rome, LLP was part of the pro bono legal team that represented
NYCdog to support the NYC Parks Department in the Offleash Hours
case. The Law Firm of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle,
LLP were the main pro bono attorneys that drafted NYCdog's Cross-Motion
to Intervene in the Case on the side of Parks. A big thanks in particular
to Andrew Otis and Dora Straus who represented NYCdog in front of
Judge Peter J. Kelly on Aug. 29.
