Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
"Last month, New York State lost a
pioneering legal mind. We continue to mourn the passing of Judge
Abdus-Salaam, an exceptionally talented and beloved member of the
state’s highest court.
The Court of Appeals is a pillar of our
judicial system, and it is unacceptable for the court to go months
without a full bench.
"Today, I am calling on the Commission on
Judicial Nomination to accelerate the process to fill the new vacancy to
allow for the State Senate to take up confirmation before the
conclusion of this year’s legislative session at the end of June.”
