On Thursday, March 14, 2024, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department denied Attorney Jerry Ray Hamling’s motions to reargue a prior court decision and for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Jerry Ray Hamling,” with case no. PM-42-24.
Rayhamling had previously been suspended from practicing law following a criminal conviction. In December 2023, the Court issued an order imposing discipline on Hamling related to this conviction.
Hamling then filed two motions. The first motion was filed under CPLR 2221(d) and sought permission to reargue the Third Department’s order from December. The second motion was filed under CPLR 5602 and sought permission to appeal the December order to the Court of Appeals.
In considering the motions, the Court reviewed Hamling’s notice of motion and affidavit, as well as the Attorney Grievance Committee’s affirmation in opposition and accompanying exhibits.
The court determined that in its prior decision, it had not overlooked or misapprehended any matters of fact or law. Additionally, the court found that no basis for an appeal to the Court of Appeals had been established. As a result, in a brief two-page order, the Third Department denied both of Hamling’s motions.
According to avvo.com, Mr. Hamling is a criminal defense attorney in Rochester Hills, Michigan. He acquired his law license in New York in 2015.
