In a unanimous ruling on April 25, 2025, New York’s Appellate Division, Fourth Department, overturned a SUNY Buffalo State University disciplinary finding against our client. The Fourth Department found no substantial evidence existed to support the allegations of non-consensual sexual contact, and it therefore annulled the decision. It also ordered the school to completely expunge our client’s record.
