I have a client with a state police summons (VTL 1110-0A) from 2019, somehow still being prosecuted in the LaGrange court, despite being facially insufficient (no description of the offense). I contacted, via letter, the judge there and got "opposition" papers to my "motion" from a private attorney apparently acting as ADA in this village court (i.e., she's not a Dutchess County ADA).

I'm kind of shocked that they want to work so hard to litigate a summons that in NYC, when I was an ADA, we dismissed en masse, because facially sufficiency is quite simply not optional. So, I am wondering if there's anyone who practices in that court who might give me some advice or a decent price to step in as I can't get to Dutchess County and it seems they're not going to adjourn (it's on Tues. evening, 28 April).

Thanks,

Joe
