By court
Trial courts
- George v State of New York90 Misc 3d 372
The court held that Correction Law § 865 (1) is not facially unconstitutional because the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the Equal Rights Amendment was intended to apply retroactively to existing statutes. The court declined to address the level of scrutiny for age-based classifications, noting that the facial challenge failed on the basis of the statute’s prospective application.
