Document:
This action is one of two cases filed in federal court that challenged a New York State law that prohibited people from voting because they were incarcerated or on parole for a felony conviction. The other case, Hayden v. Pataki [CJ-NY-3], was filed in the Southern District of New York in September 2000, while Muntaqim v. Coombe was filed in the Northern District of New York in September 1994.
In Muntaqim, the District Court (Judge Norman A. Mordue) granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment by an order dated January 24, 2001, holding that New York State's felon disenfranchisement scheme was immune from challenges under the Voting Rights Act. Plaintiff appealed and a panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision. Muntaqim v. Coombe, 366 F.3d 102 (2nd Cir. 2004) A petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court was denied. Jalil Abdul Muntaqim v. Coombe, 543 U.S. 978, 125 S.Ct. 480, 160 L.Ed.2d 356 (2004). Plaintiff petitioned the Second Circuit for a rehearing en banc, which was granted Muntaqim v. Coombe, 396 F.3d 95 (2nd Cir. 2004).
Simultaneously with the filing of the Hayden opinion, the en banc court de-consolidated Muntaqim and Hayden and entered a judgment vacating the District Court opinion and dismissing Muntaqim's claims for lack of standing. See Muntaqim v. Coombe, 449 F.3d 371 (2d Cir. May 4, 2006) (per curiam ).
