Wandering Dago, Inc. v. Destito
WD filed suit against OGS, alleging that defendants violated its rights under the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, and the New York State Constitution by denying WD's applications to participate as a food truck vendor in the Lunch Program based on its ethnic-slur branding. The Second Circuit reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment for defendant, holding that defendants' action violated WD's equal protection rights and its rights under the New York State Constitution. In this case, it was undisputed that defendants denied WD's applications solely because of its ethnic-slur branding. In Matal v. Tam, 137 S. Ct. 1744 (2017), the Supreme Court clarified that this action amounted to viewpoint discrimination and, if not government speech or otherwise protected, was prohibited by the First Amendment. The court rejected defendants' argument that their actions were unobjectionable because they were either part of OGS's government speech or permissible regulation of a government contractor's speech.

Stop scratching on holidays
Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.

Avenatti lashes out at Nike one day after arrest
OPEN ON 1ST PALM SUNDAY, OTB RAKES IN $2M
New York City Off-Track Betting made history yesterday, taking bets on Palm Sunday. Since 1973, when Sunday racing was made legal in New York State, race tracks have been allowed to operate every Sunday except for Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. While Aqueduct kept its doors shut, NYCOTB had its betting parlors open despite a letter from the New York State Racing and Wagering Board stating that it couldn't do so. "We're not a race track," NYCOTB president Ray Casey said. "OTB's business is a simulcasting business.
" Bettors responded by wagering an estimated $2 million yesterday on tracks from around the country, including Keeneland in Kentucky and Gulfstream Park in Florida. While in the past NYCOTB has respected the law and shut down on Palm Sunday, it took a chance this time because its business is down. "With the weather being the way it's been our handle has been off significantly," Casey said. "Our lawyers felt from their point of view that we could open (yesterday).
" The law says race tracks can't open. It doesn't mention OTBs. "I respect the Racing and Wagering Board and I have the utmost respect for chairman Michael Hoblock but I felt we're right on this one," Casey said. The NYSRWB didn't return phone calls yesterday but said on Saturday it would meet this week to discuss fines and penalties it can impose on NYCOTB. "This isn't personal," Casey said. "I just didn't agree with the board's interpretation.
" Casey also said NYCOTB may open on Easter Sunday.
Attorney Michael Avenatti accused sportswear giant Nike on Tuesday of illegally arranging payments to high school basketball players, leveling his allegations in a series of tweets posted one day after federal prosecutors brought explosive charges against the lawyer for alleged attempts to extort millions of dollars from the company.
The high-profile celebrity attorney, who rocketed into the national spotlight last year while representing adult film actress Stormy Daniels in her case against President Donald Trump, was arrested Monday and indicted simultaneously on separate charges of financial crimes in New York and Los Angeles.
Avenatti on Tuesday tweeted that he was “anxious for people to see what really happened."
“We never attempted to extort Nike & when the evidence is disclosed, the public will learn the truth about Nike’s crime & coverup,” he wrote.
According to federal prosecutors in New York, Avenatti met with Nike lawyers last week and threatened to unleash a storm of negative publicity before the company’s quarterly earnings call and the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Avenatti represented a basketball coach of a California amateur team who allegedly had evidence of Nike employees authorizing secret payments to top high school players.
Avenatti and his unnamed co-conspirator — reported to be Mark Geragos, another trial attorney known to represent celebrities like Michael Jackson and Jussie Smollett — said they would go public with the information unless Nike paid them more than $20 million, according to court documents.
In a second tweet Tuesday, Avenatti posted a CBS Sports article reporting that Nike’s basketball league for elite youth had been served with a subpoena as federal prosecutors investigate potential schemes to funnel money to promising young players to increase the likelihood of apparel contracts if they go pro.
Nike said in a statement Tuesday that it has been cooperating with officials in the NCAA investigation for over a year. Avenatti claimed this was untrue and accused the company of “trying to divert attention from their own crimes.”
Avenatti was released on $300,000 bond after appearing in New York federal court Monday evening and told reporters he expects to be “fully exonerated.” The attorney also faces separate bank and wire fraud charges in Los Angeles.
The latest scandals are not the first hits Avenatti’s reputation has taken since he became a regular presence on the national stage. He was arrested, but not charged, on suspicion of domestic violence in November, and he had public spats with Daniels until the two parted ways earlier this month. His former law firm, Eagan Avenatti, has filed for bankruptcy more than once.
Avenatti has been a fervent critic of Trump throughout his presidency and at one point was a frequent face on cable TV shows, offering combative rhetoric about the White House. While representing Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, he put a spotlight on hush-money payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s role in facilitating the exchange.
