People v. Pierre, 142 AD3d 566 (2d Dept. 2016)
First, I hope Judge Ciaffa returns to District Court. I learned from him about the variable nature of an account stated when a debtor is uninsured or under-insured, and that a credit card interest rate may not be enforceable in certain situations. Now in private practice, he is either on an 18-B panel or procuring private clients in the criminal defense arena.
I recall that I criticized one of his written no-fault opinions on here and, when I appeared in court one day, he called me up during calendar call and explained the rationale behind his decision.
Anyway, good to see his name again,

FYI, in addition to my private practice work at forchelli, curto, I am also hearing no-fault cases from time to time at NAM.

Nice seeing you in Court today. I hope you make it back on the bench one day.
