Beiso v. Robilotto

2 Citing cases

  1. Libutti v. Di Brizzi

    343 F.2d 460 (2d Cir. 1965)   Cited 18 times

    Under New York law a union member may enforce in the courts the rights granted to him by the union constitution and bylaws, including the right to stand for election to union office. E.g., Beiso v. Robilotto, 26 Misc.2d 137, 212 N.Y.S.2d 504 (S.Ct. 1960); Maineculf v. Robinson, 19 Misc.2d 230, 189 N.Y.S.2d 712 (S.Ct. 1958). The appellants have not disputed this proposition or suggested any reason why a New York court would not deem the admitted disregard of union rules in this case an appropriate occasion for injunctive relief. They instead assert that the district court lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter and that the plaintiffs should be required first to exhaust their remedies within the union.

  2. Jackson v. National Marine Eng. Ben. Ass'n of U.S.A.

    221 F. Supp. 347 (S.D.N.Y. 1963)   Cited 4 times

    Plaintiff may have remedies in a state court before the election is held, apart from the Act. In this connection, it is noted that Beiso v. Robilotto, 26 Misc.2d 137, 212 N.Y.S.2d 504 (1960), cited for plaintiff, was a decision of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Albany County. This Federal Court has no jurisdiction to consider any such remedies because jurisdiction here must be found, if at all, in the Act.
