Louis L. Friedman, Respondent v. State of New York, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Court of Claims, holding that the Court of Claims erred in applying res judicata to bar the claimant's salary suit and that the Court of Claims has subject‑matter jurisdiction, but the claim fails to state a cause of action because the removal was valid. Justice Burke dissented, arguing that the removal provision is unconstitutionally vague and violates due process.
