New York Court of Claims Judge Mark Grisanti, who is also an acting justice of the state Supreme Court, will not be reappointed to a second term by Gov. Kathy Hochul following a confrontation between Buffalo officers back in 2020,  Spectrum News 1 learned Wednesday.

Hochul’s rejection of Grisanti was first reported by Law 360.

Grisanti was recommended in April by the state Commission on Judicial Conduct to be censured four years after a parking dispute outside Grisanti's home was caught on Buffalo Police body cameras.

During the incident, police appeared to try and handcuff Grisanti's wife, Maria, but she allegedly tried to get away.

That is when Mark Grisanti appeared to have pushed an officer. Grisanti allegedly repeats multiple times that his daughter and son-in-law are police officers and “if you don't get the cuffs officer, you're going to have a problem.”

Later body camera video appears to show Grisanti in the back of the police car being allowed to have a phone call with who Law 360 identified as his cousin, who is a Buffalo police detective.

Criminal charges were never filed in the incident.

Grisanti's attorney, Terry Connors, told Spectrum News 1 in a statement that "Judge Grisanti has not received formal notification regarding his reappointment. But judges and lawyers who know his work best have reached out to express support. Even the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, after a thorough investigation, concluded that two hours of misconduct did not warrant his removal from the bench. Every objective metric supports his retention."

Peter Weinmann was among Gov. Hochul's new nominations to the state Court of Claims and is expected to replace Grisanti. He was confirmed by the state Senate Judiciary Committee and still faces a confirmation by the full chamber.
