Napeague Beach Stretch to Remain Open - At Least for Now
Accoring to report, judge issues against closing beach while case goes to trial phase.
According to a report on 27East.com, East Hampton Town Trustees and the Town Board won a victory - for now - when a State Supreme Court Justice ruled against closing a 220-foot stretch of beach in Napeague to the public while the case goes to trial.
The report states the following:
On Thursday, October 13, Justice Melvyn Tanenbaum ordered the lawsuit brought by the White Sands Motel in 2009 to proceed to the pre-trial phase. The decision represents a denial of a request the plaintiff made in March, asking the justice to rule on the case without holding a trial and issue a preliminary injunction barring people from accessing the beach in front of the motel.
