    this is a state court decision. unless there is a federal issue to base an appeal on, scotus can’t save him.

      While true, this is just a New York Supreme Court decision. He can still appeal to the Appellate Division then to the New York Court of Appeals. I can’t imagine he’ll get it turned over, but there’s a chance the amount might be lowered or something.
