NYC Drops Federal Appeal In Stop-and-Frisk Cases

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — New York City has dropped its appeal of rulings in stop-and-frisk cases. The move is aimed at speeding reforms it has agreed to in a settlement.

The city’s Law Department filed papers Wednesday with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The goal is to end years of litigation over the city’s controversial anti-crime tactic. Those who brought the lawsuits did not oppose the action.
