From TimesUnion.com:
A federal judge set a hearing next week on whether to temporarily block the expulsion of a state senator whose colleagues voted to remove him because of a misdemeanor assault conviction.
In a civil rights suit filed Thursday in Manhattan, Queens Democrat Hiram Monserrate asked Judge William Pauley to reverse his removal and bar a March 16 special election to replace him.
He said the state Senate denied him due process and his constituents their right to representation.
