Judge Clears Way for Park 51 Community Center
A lawsuit seeking to halt the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero has been junked by a Manhattan judge.
Supreme Court Justice Paul Feinman dismissed a suit filed by Firefighter Timothy Brown with the backing of the American Center for Law & Justice, a Washington conservative group.
Feinman ruled that Brown didn’t have a leg to stand on legally in his suit that challenged the city’s refusal to grant landmark status to 45-47 Park Place, a building several blocks from Ground Zero that once housed a Burlington Coat Factory.
