drug eviction trial

Postby hattier » Thu Jan 31, 2008 11:08 am

dea agent gave testimony under oath regarding the seizure of pot in the tenant's apartment. tenant's attorney was not permitted to question the dea agent. now the landlord's attorney wants to use the testimony as part of his prima facie case because the agent is not available for trial. i do not think it is admissible.

any thoughts, i am doing the memo of law.

Hello,

FYI, there are some really knowledgeable posters here, however, they usually are not on this particular board, I've noticed. You might try posting this query on another board - like, for example, the rent-regulated board, if that applies to this case. I know that TN has a policy of no double-posting (of similar messages on multiple boards), but maybe they'd allow it in this case.....

I hope this response hasn't come too late to assist you,

Sounds like you are absolutely right. To research this I would start with the cases cited in annotations to CPLR 4517.

Hello,

This post above is from one of the knowledgeable posters to which I was referring! So, I guess it's not necessary to move this post to another board.....

Of course not. Any regular user will find any new post by checking "View posts since last visit."

And the context of your terminology can be confusing. While "forum" and "board" are often synonymous in their meanting the entire forum section of the website, what you really meant was the forum 'section' on the TenantNet forum, i.e., the rent-regulated section or the non rent-regulated section, etc.

Yes, we discourage posters from posting duplicate posts, but that's because a single post will be found by any regular user. (plus the orange buttons light up when there are unread posts).
