WCM Obtains Dismissal of Constitutional Violation Claims in EDPA.

WCM Partner Bob Cosgrove and associate Eric Clendening recently obtained a FRCP 12(b)(6) dismissal in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In the case of Nona Farrar v. Hilton Worldwide, Inc., et al., Nona Farrar claimed that, as a result of her support of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the inmate convicted of the murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, the United States Department of Justice, Delta Airlines, Holiday Inn, US Airlines, the Fraternal Order of Police and Hilton (our client) conspired to deprive her of her constitutional rights by denying her service and attempting to have her arrested. We moved to dismiss the case in lieu of an answer. After considering the extensive papers, USDC Judge Norma Shapiro agreed with our analysis and dismissed the case.
