We’ve reported on this case in months past. Here is the latest from the NYLJ.“Attorneys in the malpractice lawsuit against Barry C. Scheck and his firm, Cochran, Neufeld & Scheck, have agreed to mediation before Eastern District Magistrate Judge Steven M. Gold. The state Court of Appeals recently ruled that Mr. Long, who was exonerated from rape and robbery convictions, had a valid claim against New York in the Court of Claims. However, the Court of Appeals found that his complaint had to be dismissed because he did not personally verify it. Mr. Scheck verified the complaint. At a hearing yesterday, Mr. Long’s attorney, Joel Berger, and Mr. Scheck’s attorney, Ronald C. Minkoff, agreed to mediation. Mr. Long is seeking $3 million. The parties will next convene in September. — Tom Perrotta “
