GUIDO CALABRESI , Circuit Judge : Much of our Court's recent docket has been consumed with poor, often pro se, immigrants who lack, but hope to obtain, legal status. The current case addresses a differently situated immigrant with parallel aspirations. Ganga Mantena, a relatively affluent and skilled computer programmer, legally arrived in the United States on an H1-B visa and pursued employment-based status adjustment to permanent residency, colloquially known as a "green card." Mantena'...
CHIN , Circuit Judge : This case returns to us after our previous remand in Statek Corp. v. Development Specialists, Inc. (In re Coudert Bros. LLP) ("Coudert I"), 673 F.3d 180 (2d Cir.2012), which in part vacated the bankruptcy court's denial of a motion to reconsider an order disallowing a claim. Appellant Statek Corp. ("Statek") appeals from a September 19, 2014 order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Swain, J. ), which affirmed orders of the...

JOS A. CABRANES , Circuit Judge: The principal question presented is whether, in August 2005, there was a clearly established right to be free from abuse of process under New York law even where probable cause existed. We conclude that there was not. Plaintiff-appellant John Mangino ("Mangino") appeals from the March 10, 2014 judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Joseph F. Bianco, Judge ) dismissing his complaint against defendant-appellees...
