Diblasio v. Novello

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that New York medical officials were not entitled to absolute immunity from radiologist's due process claims arising from summary suspension of medical license
• assuming, in part because the health commissioner was entitled to serve a finite term, “that the commissioner is not removable at will [by the governor] and that such insulation from political influence weighs in favor of a grant of absolute immunity”
• defendant not entitled to prosecutorial immunity because “as an investigator, [he] lacked the authority to initiate charges”
• “ ‘Stigma plus’ refers to a claim brought for injury to one’s reputation (the stigma) coupled with the deprivation of some ‘tangible interest’ ... (the plus), without adequate process.” (emphasis added)
• \The Commissioner of the N.Y. D.O.H. is a high-level state official with final authority on many department matters\
• summary suspension process too dissimilar to judicial process to warrant absolute immunity
