FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



Contact: Jonathan Moore (212) 490-0400



ATTORNEY JONATHAN MOORE, ELECTED OFFICIALS OF NEW YORK, AND OTHER
MEMBERS OF THE LEGAL COMMUNITY WILL HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO
ANNOUNCE THE FILING OF A CIVIL LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY OF NEW YORK
AND THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT ON BEHALF OF ATTORNEYS
MICHAEL AND EVELYN WARREN



On September 18, 2008, attorney Jonathan Moore will file a lawsuit on
behalf of attorneys Michael and Evelyn Warren against The City of New
York, the New York City Police Department, Sergeant Steven Talvy and
other officers for injuries arising out of an incident of police
misconduct on June 21, 2007.



On June 21,2007, Sergeant Talvy of the NYPD SNEU beat and arrested
attorneys Michael and Evelyn Warren after they questioned why the
police were viciously kicking a young man they had already taken to
the ground and handcuffed. For stepping forward to inquire into the
welfare of the young man, Michael Warren received several blows to
the head and was charged with Obstructing Governmental Administration
and Resisting Arrest; Evelyn was punched in the face and charged with
Disorderly Conduct.



The Warrens were forced to appear in court on 7 occasions over the
course of a year to defend against the false charges. On July 2,
2008, all charges against them were dismissed, due to insufficient
evidence.

On August 13, 2008, the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB)
substantiated charges against Sergeant Steven Talvy for use of force
against Michael Warren.
