No Appeals To Decision About Release Of Some Attica Documents

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — No court appeals have been filed challenging limited release of an investigative report about the 1971 Attica prison riot.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman sought disclosure of remaining Meyer Commission documents examining the nation's bloodiest prison rebellion and an alleged cover-up of police crimes in retaking it.

Altogether, 11 staff members and 32 inmates died — all but four shot by state police and corrections officers.
