Mayor Milan was the policy-maker for the City in respect of
Stomel’s removal as municipal public defender, and thus the §
1983 claim against the City based on Milan’s actions is
reinstated. Also, Stomel set forth a prima facie case that, as
municipal public defender, he was an “employee” of the City for
purposes of advancing his CEPA claim.
