Favorable Decisions in Civil Rights Case 
Goldberg Katzman recently received favorable decisions in the two matters involving Steven Crawford, who was recently released from prison after being held there for close to 30 years. The United States Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania denied the defendants' motion to dismiss and held that Mr. Crawford's complaint stated a cause of action for violation of Mr. Crawford's civil rights under Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.The Middle District also denied motions for summary judgment filed by Dauphin County and three former employees of the Pennsylvania State Police, holding that Mr. Crawford's case was backed with sufficient evidence to support his civil rights claim and his state law claims. Goldberg Katzman will now proceed to trial on Mr. Crawford's case.
