It also includes the town's papers seeking a temporary restraining order; the order signed July 31 by Justice Carl J. Copertino, which granted that restraint and set a September 9 hearing; the July 29 order in which Justice George Nolan stepped aside; the Town Board's authorizing resolution; and the sworn citation of Ordinance Enforcement Inspector Cristhian Sanchez.
