People v. Vasquezgreen2 sentences2017An acquittal establishes “only that the jury did not find all elements of those offenses to have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, a more rigorous standard of proof than the clear and convincing evidence standard” applicable in a SORA risk level determination proceeding (id. at 729; see People v Vasquez, 49 AD3d 1282, 1284 [2008]). 2016The fact that the defendant was acquitted at the trial of sexual abuse in the first degree established only that the trial court did not find all the elements of that offense to have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, a more rigorous standard of proof than the clear and convincing standard applicable to SORA determinations (see People v Kost, 82 AD3d 729 [2011]; People v Vasquez, 49 AD3d 1282, 1284 [2008]). | 3 | 3 |

Campbell v. City of Elmiragreen2 sentences2008We find this statement instructive to the instant dispute in that plaintiff is not himself an “injured bystander” and O’Brien herself is not seeking to hold him—or his municipal employer—civilly liable as a result of this accident (see Campbell v City of Elmira, 84 NY2d 505, 512 [1994] [“the more rigorous standard before allowing for municipal liability arising out of emergency circumstances accommodates the realities of the dangerous conditions encountered by officers in performing their municipal duties with necessary dispatch and dispensation from ordinary care” (emphasis added)]). 1996As the majority emphasized in Campbell v City of Elmira (supra, at 512-513), the Legislature recognized the need for a more rigorous standard for liability arising out of emergency circumstances, but also retained the potential for liability based upon "disproportionate, overreactive conduct. | 2 | 2 |
Howell v. New York Post Co.green2 sentences2005(Howell v New York Post Co., 81 NY2d 115 [1993].) The standard for establishing the first element, extreme and outrageous conduct, has been set so high that the Howell court described it as “conduct ... so outrageous in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.” (Howell v New York Post Co., supra at 122.) The Howell court further noted that, because of the rigorous standard, “of the intentional infliction of emotional distress claims considered by this Court, every one 1995Ctr., 86 AD2d 867, 868 ; see, Orzechowski v Warner-Lambert Co., 92 AD2d 110, 112 ), the facts fall short of the rigorous standard of outrageous conduct necessary to maintain a cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress (see, Howell v New York Post Co., 81 NY2d 115, 121-122 ). | 1 | 2 |

People v.

People v. Licitra
green
2 sentences1989Under these circumstances, the defendant’s statements constituted "direct evidence of many of the principal facts in issue” and thus there was "no occasion to apply the rigorous standard by which purely circumstantial cases are tested” (People v Licitra, 47 NY2d 554, 559 ; People v Rumble, 45 NY2d 879 ; People v Ainsworth, 106 AD2d 357 ; People v Aguanno, 125 AD2d 579 ; People v Samuel, 138 AD2d 543 ). 1986Since defendant’s own admissions were introduced as direct evidence of his participation in the crimes, there was no reason to apply the rigorous standard by which purely circumstantial cases are tested (see, People v Licitra, 47 NY2d 554 ). | 3 | 1986–1989 |
Meyer v. Nebraska
green
2 sentences2025The Court of Appeals held that in determining whether an interference with the family relationship is proper, the action will not be reviewed under "exacting scrutiny, but according to a less rigorous standard of whether there is a 'reasonable relation to any end within the competency of the State'" ( id. , quoting Meyer v State of Nebraska , 262 US at 403 ). 1981In determining whether a State’s interference with the family relationship is proper, the action will not be reviewed under exacting scrutiny, but according to a less rigorous standard of whether there is a “reasonable relation to any end within the competency of the State” (Meyer v State of Nebraska, 262 US 390, 403 , supra; see, also, Cleveland Bd. of Educ. v La Fleur, 414 US 632, 643 ; Pierce v Society of Sisters, 268 US 510, 535 , supra). | 2 | 1981–2025 |
People v. Benzinger
green
2 sentences1987In determining whether guilt has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, New York courts have applied a rigorous standard if the prosecution’s case depends entirely on circumstantial evidence. "[F]or guilt to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt the hypothesis of guilt should flow naturally from the facts proved, and be consistent with them; and the facts proved must exclude 'to a moral certainty’ every reasonable hypothesis of innocence.” (People v Benzinger, 36 NY2d 29, 32 .) This stringent standard is not applied, however, where the prosecution’s proof is not solely circumstantial, particular 1979For this reason, there is no occasion to apply the rigorous standard by which purely circumstantial cases are tested (e.g., People v Benzinger, 36 NY2d 29, 32 ). | 2 | 1979–1987 |
Nehra v. Uhlar
green
2 sentences1979It is apparent that Family Court herein applied a less rigorous standard than that required by Matter of Nehra v Uhlar (supra). 1978Thus, the Family Court applied a less rigorous standard than that mandated by Matter of Nehra v Uhlar (supra), and, in effect, made a de novo determination based almost exclusively upon the expressed desire of eight-year-old Tony to live with his father. | 2 | 1978–1979 |
People v. . Sullivan
green
2 sentences1973It paraphrased Judge Peckham’s language in People v. Sullivan ( 115 N. Y. 185, 188 ) in which he actually had said, “ Nothing but the most rigorous rule of law should, under the circumstances, compel a court to admit its loss of jurisdiction and the consequent failure of all proceedings taken before it.” In People v. Stern (3 N Y 2d 658, 661) Judge Bubkb observed that the Grand Jury, having been duly impaneled for the June, 1955 term of the court as an additional Grand Jury, and the term of the court having been extended by court, orders, was at the time it returned the indictments in question 1961As was said in a case not directly in point, but of pertinence nevertheless : “ Nothing but the most rigorous rule of law should, under the circumstances, compel a court to admit its loss of jurisdiction and the consequent failure of all proceedings taken before it.” (People v. Sullivan, 115 N. Y. 185, 188 .) Under the common law, as has been recognized in this and other jurisdictions, a term, once regularly opened, and in the absence of a specific limitation or of any action or direction to the contrary, would continue in existence until the time lawfully fixed for the commencement of the nex | 2 | 1961–1973 |

green
1 sentence2025A decade later, in 1991, in Matter of Emmanuel S. v Joseph E . ( 78 NY2d 178 [1991]), the Court of Appeals clarified that the 1975 amendment to Domestic Relations Law § 72 "liberalized the law and granted all grandparents a right to seek standing," and, as such, the law did not exclude from its provisions grandparents seeking visitation over the objection of fit parents in intact nuclear families ( see id ., at 182). | 1 | 2025–2025 |
