Refuses judge's request for delay
By Glenn Blain / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
ALBANY — The Bloomberg administration Tuesday rejected a federal judge’s request to delay the eviction of religious groups from city schools.
“This case has been litigated for 16 years,” said the city’s Law Department.
“It’s now time for it to come to an end.”
Federal Judge Loretta Preska asked the city to hold off on its ban of churches in public schools while she considers a last-ditch lawsuit by the Bronx Household of Faith.
More than 60 churches are getting the boot starting Sunday.
Alliance Defense Fund lawyer Jordan Lorence, who represents the Bronx Household of Faith, said he was still optimistic Preska would grant an injunction.
