Biographical & Historical Information

[Written by Audrey Golden, based on her own research and an interview with Judge Bissell that she conducted in July 2010.]

Retired Judge John Winslow Bissell presided over the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey from 1982-2005 after being nominated by then-President Reagan, and he served as Chief Judge from 2001 until the end of his tenure. Prior to serving as a federal judge, Bissell was employed in private practice from 1966-69 and 1972-78, first as an Associate and later as a Partner. He also acted as an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of New Jersey from 1969-71.

Bissell graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1958 and went on to earn his B.A. from Princeton in 1962, followed by an L.L.B. from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1965. Subsequent to his retirement from the Court, he entered private practice at Connell Foley as Counsel, where he continues to serve both as Chair of the firm's Alternative Dispute Resolution Department and as a member of the Business Litigation practice group. Although Bissell considers his work in private practice to require expertise and skills distinct from those he honed as a federal judge, he has emphasized that his role as an adjudicator nonetheless provided for an efficient shift to his current function within arbitration and mediation processes. He has reflected particularly on the translatability of the skills of an adjudicator—hearing witnesses, reading evidence, drawing conclusion and explaining it in writing—to those of an arbitrator. The dynamic does shift vastly, however, between adjudicating, arbitrating, and mediating. Through arbitration and mediation, Bissell indicated that he has "polished a different set of techniques" from those sharpened through nearly twenty-five years on the bench.

The papers in this collection, representing decisions from the entirety of Bissell's tenure on the bench, provide significant insight into the workings of a busy urban federal court. Due to its inner-city setting in Newark, New Jersey, the Court decided a substantial number of cases involving antitrust and bank fraud issues, major drug prosecutions, and federal securities laws. Bissell's Court represents one of three federal trial courts in New Jersey, with the remaining two located in Trenton, the state's capital, and Camden. While the court's physical location may have impacted the types of cases adjudicated, as a federal judge Bissell ruled on cases in which the demography of vicinage was very diverse, encapsulating jurors, attorneys, and even parties to the actions from a wide range of urban, affluent suburban, and rural regions. Bissell noted that, while the courthouse was situated in a large-city locale, the district from which his cases arose stretched across the northern part of the state of New Jersey. As a result, jurors were pulled from city centers such as Newark and Jersey City, but also from many smaller rural towns along the Delaware River and out to Phillipsburg, as well as suburbs like Morristown in the very northern part of the state housing wealthy New York City-area commuters. Bissell reflected that his Court's jurors arrived from a relatively small geographic area, but an immensely varied demography. Similarly, Bissell's Court saw many attorneys from these representative areas, as well as those admitted pro hac vice from organizations and firms throughout the nation, appearing in the District of New Jersey on one-time bases for specific actions being tried. While attorneys hailed from a wide geographic distribution, the parties, too, originated from assorted locales, including those both national and international. In part, this range of parties was a result of their appearances within a federal trial court, as Bissell frequently heard diversity actions that otherwise would have been adjudicated within a state court. At the same time, however, the nature of the cases also led to the notable diversity of participants, as many of the commercial actions concerned business groups and companies throughout the United States and abroad.

Trends over time in the variety of cases contained within these papers likely are reflective of those nationally, displaying an increased number related to employment-law litigation, in particular employment-discrimination cases pertaining to race, age, and gender. Gradually more parties began to bring actions under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), while the 1990 and 1993 passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), respectively, also led to increased employment-discrimination litigation. Bissell reflected that this trend also impacted some of his later decisions as he became more sensitive to individual conduct, the thwarting of equal protection, and other discriminatory practices affecting society. These cases range from race, age, and gender discrimination in police departments and government agencies to those arising from a variety of large and small private-business actions. The papers in this collection showcase an increased number of cases concerning rights-based litigation, in general. In addition to discriminatory employment practices, in the later years of Bissell's tenure, a large number of decisions concerning employment benefits were litigated, which is reflected in the numerous cases to which the Social Security Administration was a named party.

The decision of which Bissell is most proud concerns 21st-century race discrimination in the workplace. In this 2005 case, Lomack v. City of Newark, the former judge affirmed a lower court decision to integrate firehouse shifts in a Newark fire department, a place of employment that was widely segregated as a product of de facto segregation. Although his decision later was reversed by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, Bissell noted of his contrary conclusion, "I feel very proud of this decision." At the same time, he noted how this case, in particular, reflects his own growing concern with civil rights issues in his later years on the bench. When asked whether he would have decided the same way if the case had come to him in 1983 instead of 2005, his "inkling was probably not."

While many of the cases in this collection remain unpublished, their significance for legal and historical research in future years is unmistakable. In addition to providing a historical record of general urban-court practices in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Bissell hopes that these papers also will make clear the prevalence of judicial impartiality at the trial level and the significance of trial-court rulings generally, matters that frequently are not paid significant attention due to the academic and legal focus on appellate decisions and their inner-court workings. He has indicated that the social and political views of an individual judge should never hold a position in the adjudication process. The conscientious trial judge, Bissell noted, dedicates himself to deciding a case on its own merits both in terms of the facts involved and the law that applies; the role of a judge is not to ventilate or to inflict upon the parties involved a political, social, or sociological point of view. That has "no place there," Bissell indicated. He also reflected that his papers should produce for researchers both a sense of what it was like to be working as a federal trial court judge during this time span, along with the "products of a judge who, like almost all of them, calls them as he sees them without any baggage overlay." If his body of work helps to demonstrate these issues to both contemporary and future researchers, the now-retired judge indicated that he "would be very satisfied."

Case Summaries

Am. Home Prod. Corp. v. API Sys. 1983 April 08

Affirms Judge John W. Devine's report and recommendation that the date to be selected for the rate of exchange between U.S. dollars and the French franc should be the date of any breach of contract, if the plaintiffs prevail in the action. Grants partial summary judgment for the plaintiffs and denies partial summary judgment for the defendants.
Caravella v. Mayberry 1983 April 15
Although the plaintiff anticipates a denial of benefits from the Veterans' Administration because of the defendant's acts or omissions, such a denial has not occurred yet; therefore, the action is found to lack "ripeness." The defendant's motion for summary judgment is granted and the complaint is dismissed.
Carpet Masters v. Carpet Masters 1983 November 29
The action, in which the plaintiff asserts a claim under state common law for "unfair competition and unfair trade practice," is remanded to the Chancery Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Monmouth County, because the plaintiff asserts no federal claim. "Just costs" but not attorney's fees are awarded to the plaintiff.

Devine v. Handy 1983 June 14
Denies the application of Frank N. Yurasko, an attorney retained by the Forum Insurance Company, to be relieved as counsel for Ronald Loalbo; Forum is estopped from denying coverage to Loalbo because Forum did not inform Loalbo in a timely fashion of a reservation of rights to later deny him coverage.

Defendants Boyce and Susalis's motions for summary judgment on immunity grounds are continued pending completion of their depositions.
Diecidue v. Whitesmiths 1983 May 18
The complaint is found to be defective in that it does not contain an affirmative allegation of facts on which the court must conclude that jurisdiction prevails. The plaintiff is given 14 days within which to file an amended complaint; otherwise, the complaint shall be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Esposito v. Mintz 1983 April 12
Plaintiffs Esposito, Hughes, and Austin, prisoners, move for an order directing the state to pay their legal postage; the motion is denied because New Jersey Department of Corrections standards provide for the penal institution to pay for legal postage if the prisoners' personal funds are depleted. Plaintiff Esposito's motion for a temporary injunction prohibiting defendent Skowrowski from harassing him and denying him access to the court is denied because he has suffered no harm.
Fahey v. Carty 1983 May 20
The defendant moves to deny the plaintiff's application for taxation of costs; the motion is partly granted and partly denied.
Feist & Feist Realty Corp. v. Hansford Prop. 1983 May 04
Denies plaintiff's motion for an order directing the defendant to post a supersedeas bond.
First State Underwriters Agency of New England Reinsurance Corp. v. Travelers Ins. Co. 1983 September 28
Defendant Certainteed's motion for leave to file amended answer, cross-claim, and counterclaim is granted.

Fitzgerald v. Cmty. Mem'l Hosp. 1983 May 04
Counsel for plaintiffs, Marc Weinberg, moves the Court to reconsider its earlier order denying his motion to be relieved of representing the plaintiffs in this case, alleging that the plaintiffs "wish to pursue this matter solely to harass the defendants." Alternatively, he moves for a stay of the trial until he obtains advice from a professional ethics committee. The motion is denied because Weinberg has not proffered basis for either knowledge or reasonable belief that the plaintiffs are maintaining the action in order to harass the defendants.
Foca v. Econ. Lab. 1983 May 13
Denies the defendants' motion for reconsideration of the Court's earlier order of limited remand to the Superior Court of New Jersey for the purpose of resolving two conflicting orders from that court. Denies the plaintiffs' motion to remand the action to the Superior Court of New Jersey. Grants the defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismisses the plaintiffs' claims in their entirety because the plaintiffs are found to be re-litigating a claim for wrongful discharge already resolved in arbitration.
Gantt v. Western Union Tel. Co. 1983 January 26
Dismisses the complaint because it fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted; allows the plaintiff 30 days in which to file an amended complaint.
Gary v. Evans 1983 October 20
The plaintiff, a prisoner, complains of abusive language allegedly directed at him by the defendant, a prison guard. The complaint is dismissed because it fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and because it is frivolous.

The plaintiff, a prisoner, alleges that he has been arbitrarily and discriminatorily denied parole, and argues that the New Jersey parole law are unconstitutional. The defendants' motion for summary judgment is granted and the complaint is dismissed in its entirety.
Gluck v. United States 1983 December 19
Finds that the Supreme Court decision in United States v. Baggot is inapplicable. Grants the respondent's motion for summary enforcement of the subpoenas at issue, and dismisses the plaintiffs' motion to quash them.
Gordon v. Gordon 1983 March 02
The case arises from the defendant's having recorded telephone conversations between the plaintiffs (the defendant's wife and her attorney) in anticipation of a divorce battle. Two counts of the complaint, pertaining to alleged violations of the wiretapping law, are dismissed with prejudice because the defendant is found not to have willfully violated the law. A third count, pertaining to invasion of privacy, is dismissed with prejudice subject to the plaintiffs' right to move formally to set aside or modify the order within 14 days.
Hall v. Hicks 1983 June 27
The plaintiff, a prisoner, argues that he has been denied access to the courts due to alleged inadequacies of the law library at a youth correctional facility. The defendants' motion for summary judgment is granted and the complaint is dismissed because the plaintiff has suffered no actual injury and because the Court finds that the plaintiff was not deprived of access to the courts.
Hossic v. Mattingly 1983 March 02
The plaintiff, a prisoner, argues that he has been subjected to medical malpractice and cruel and unusual punishment because prison officials have not accommodated his wish not to be served pork. No religious or serious medical reason for his avoidance of pork is alleged. The complaint is dismissed with prejudice because it is found to be frivolous.
Hotz v. Brown 1983 March 18
The plaintiff, a jail inmate, argues that he has been subjected to cruel and unusual punishment because, when the flush toilet in his cell was broken for several days, he was not given full-time access to another flush toilet but was given a bucket to use part of the time. The defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint is granted because the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
Hough v. Bendix Corp. 1983 February 09
The plaintiff's motion to reallocate the vicinage for a trial is denied.
Hunt v. Mercer County Super. Ct. 1983 December 08
Grants the plaintiff leave to file in forma pauperis, but determines that the complaint is premature because the plaintiff's allegations are all claims which may directly affect the course of his prosecution upon pending State charges. The complaint is dismissed without prejudice.
James v. N.J. State Parole Bd. 1983 February 02
The plaintiff alleges that parole decisions are arbitrary, discriminatory, and based upon insufficient data. The complaint is dismissed with prejudice because the plaintiff fails to allege any facts which would support a cause of action against the members of the Parole Board.
Johns-Manville Sales Corp. v. W. R. Grace & Co. 1983 November 15
In a tort case stemming from a roofing failure, plaintiff Johns-Manville moves to amend its complaint in order to add Center Realty and Tuschyn Roofing Co. as plaintiffs in the action. The Court orders that the motion will be granted only upon submission of a revised Amended Complaint containing adequate allegations of the jurisdictional amount of damages as to each plaintiff.
Kreuger Tech. v. Eco Recycling Serv. 1983 August 02
Denies the defendant's petition to remove the case to federal court because the defendant, being a citizen of New Jersey, cannot claim diversity of citizenship. Remands the case to Superior Court, Chancery Division, Middlesex County, New Jersey.
Lieberman v. Interstate Fire & Cas. Co. 1983 March 08
In a case arising from a fire loss, the plaintiffs move for an order requiring the defendant, an unauthorized insurer, to deposit a bond with the court. The motion is denied. Instead of a bond, the Court accepts an affidavit by an official of the insurance company as satisfactory evidence that the company maintains sufficient funds to cover any judgment that may be rendered against it. The defendant is also ordered to file with the Court and serve upon the plaintiffs a copy of its annual report.
McKinney v. Hercules 1983 June 20
The case is a Title VII civil rights action claiming workplace discrimination on the basis of race, sex, and disability; at issue is the defendants' response to the plaintiff's pregnancy. The case as to defendant Nowicki is dismissed because he was not named as a defendant in the plaintiff's complaints to the State Division on Civil Rights and the Federal EEOC, complaints which are prerequisites to the Title VII action. The defendants' motion for summary judgment is granted and the case is dismissed in its entirety, based on the Court's finding that the plaintiff was afforded equal benefits but refused them.
Monmouth Cablevision Assoc. v. Hastings 1983 July 15
The defendant's motions for reconsideratoin of partial summary judgment or, in the alternative, for certification of that decision for interlocutory appeal are denied. The plaintiff's cross-motion for costs and attorney's fees is also denied.
Moody v. Tard 1983 July 08
The plaintiff, a prisoner, alleges that the defendants, prison employees, negligently deprived him of his property by their unauthorized failure to follow prison procedures. The plaintiff's claim is fully cognizable under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act; consequently, it cannot be advanced as a § 1983 claim for a due process violation. The action is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Morris v. Hilton 1983 February 24
The plaintiff, a prisoner, alleges that he has been subjected to cruel and unusual punishment because prison officials would not transfer him to a private hospital to undergo a tooth extraction under general anesthetic. The plaintiff refused to have the extraction done at the prison dental clinic under local anesthetic as suggested by defendant Rose, a dentist in private practice who renders dental services at the prison. Defendant Rose moves for summary judgment. The motion is granted and the complaint is dismissed as to defendant Rose because the dental care offered to the plaintiff does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment and because defendant Rose was not, under prison regulations, responsible for choosing the method of anesthesia offered to the plaintiff. Defendant Hilton moves for summary judgment. The motion is granted and the complaint is dismissed as to defendant Hilton because the dental care offered to the plaintiff does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment and because defendant Hilton was not, under prison regulations, responsible for choosing the method of anesthesia offered to the plaintiff and cannot be held liable under a theory of respondeat superior. The complaint is dismissed in its entirety.
Muhammad v. Fauver 1983 February 10
Plaintiff Muhammad moves that the defendants be found in contempt of court for failure to comply with a court order for discovery, that the defendants be charged a fine as punishment for their contempt of court, and that the defendants be assessed the costs of the motion. The motion is denied because the plaintiffs have complied with the court order in question, however tardily, and their tardiness is not prejudicial to the plaintiffs; because the request for fines is without support in the law and is without merit; and because the plaintiff, proceeding in forma pauperis, has incurred no costs. Plaintiff Muhammad moves for reconsideration of the denial of his previous motion. The motion for reconsideration is denied. Plaintiff Muhammad, a prisoner, asserts that he has been denied due process in three ways: first, because he was denied a disciplinary hearing to contest an on-the-spot correction; second, because there was no factual basis to support the guilty verdicts rendered at two disciplinary hearings; and, third, because defendant Casarella, who presided at two other hearings, harbored a personal bias toward plaintiff Muhammad and should have either disqualified himself or been reassigned by defendants Tard and Fauver. The court finds first, that plaintiff Muhammad received all the due process that he was due in the on-the-spot correction; second, that the hearing officers' rulings were supported by substantial, credible evidence; and third, that plaintiff Muhammad's claim of bias on the part of defendant Casarella is untimely and unsupported. Judgment is entered in defendants' favor on all counts of the complaint.
Obi v. Mazza 1983 May 09
The defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is granted because the plaintiff failed to fulfill a precondition of filing a civil action by first seeking relief in the agency which discriminated against him.
Puchalski v. Tard 1983 April 04
The defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted. The plaintiff's allegations that he was subjected to cruel and unusual punishment by being confined in pre-hearing detention fail to attain the level of an Eighth Amendment violation. The plaintiff's allegations that he was denied due process by the delay of a disciplinary hearing fail because the defendants conducted themselves in a reasonable manner and provided the plaintiff with the requisite process as quickly as possible.
Raywood v. Mercer County Bd. of Freeholders 1983 March 24
The defendants move to dismiss the complaint on the ground that it fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, or, in the alternative, for an order for a more definite statement. Both motions are denied without prejudice because the defendants' motions are inadequately supported.
Regulski v. Gale 1983 May 31
The complaint is dismissed as frivolous.
Remington Rand Corp. v. Marine Midland Bank 1983 September 08
Requests that counsel for the defendant submit revised answers to some of the plaintiff's interrogatories.
Robert Morris Educ. Ass'n v. Bd. of Ed. of South Bound Brook 1983 December 15
The action arises from an incident in which defendant Cooley, Superintendent of Schools of South Bound Brook, prepared and distributed to parents, via school-children, a statement opposing Assembly Bill A-585, which if passed would permit school matters such as student testing, class size, teacher assignments, and promotions to be determined through collective bargaining. Plaintiffs, alleging violations of their rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments as well as 42 U.S.C. § 1983, seek injunctive relief as well as costs and counsel fees. The court awards "lodestar" attorney's fees, disbursements, and filing fee to the plaintiffs. A permanent injunction enjoins the defendants and other employees of South Bound Brook schools from disseminating partisan political messages to students and orders the defendants to print and disseminate the plaintiffs' positional statement on the pending legislation opposed by the defendants.
Rob-E-Son v. E. D. Etnyre & Co. 1983 May 02
The case pertains to a contract in which the defendant promised to build an asphalt manufacturing plant for the plaintiff; construction of the plant did not meet the requirements of the contract with respect to pollution controls and timely completion. The defendant brings five pretrial motions for partial summary judgment or analogous relief. One motion is denied and the other four are deferred or not considered.
Rodziewicz v. Feconda 1983 March 18
The plaintiff, a prisoner, moves for an order that he be provided with copies of all pleadings, briefs, opinions, and orders without cost. The motion is dismissed without prejudice because it is premature, the plaintiff not having applied to proceed in forma pauperis.
Rountree v. Fenton 1983 March 29
The plaintiff, a prisoner, alleges various violations of his rights under the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments; the defendants move for summary judgment. Partial summary judgment is entered in favor of the defendants as to all claims of the plaintiff with the exception of his claim that his rights under the Eighth Amendment to be free from cruel and unusual punishment have been violated by alleged nutritional and hygienic deficiencies in the living conditions in his cell. The plaintiff's motion for reconsideration of that decision is denied.
Sarullo v. Dumont 1983 October 20
In a case arising from an automobile collision involving Herman Kemmerling, Sr., Mary Kemmerling, and the defendant Edwin Dumont, the court rules on questions of set-off and prejudgment interest. Because the defendant has not established either Herman Kemmerling, Sr.'s status as a joint tortfeasor or any relative degree of his culpability, Mary Kemmerling is entitled to retain the full amount of the settlement from the Estate of Herman Kemmerling, Sr. and proceed to collect the full judgment rendered from the defendant. Prejudgment interest is denied to the Estate of plaintiff Mary Kemmerling because this plaintiff has already received amounts through a prior settlement substantially in excess of whatever prejudgment interest might be awarded.
Sine v. Balogh 1983 May 19
The complaint is dismissed, without prejudice, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction unless an Amended Complaint, with appropriate jurisdictional allegations, is filed within ten days.
Sowa v. United States 1983 May 13
In a case arising from a drunk driving accident, with a combination of federal and non-federal defendants, the Court declares pendent party jurisdiction over the non-federal defendants.
Stanley v. White 1983 August 29
The plaintiff, formerly a hearing officer and then a staff attorney at a state agency, claims that the defendants violated his Fourteenth Amendment rights to substantive and procedural due process because his job was terminated without good cause and he was not afforded a pre-termination departmental hearing when he was laid off from the agency due to financial exigency. On the plaintiff's and defendants' cross-motions for summary judgment, the Court enters summary judgment in the defendants' favor.
Stolzenthaler v. Auto-Life Mgmt. 1983 May 04
The complaint is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The plaintiff, alleging that her employment was terminated on account of her sex, failed to file a claim with the EEOC, a procedural requirement of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f).
Thompson v. Dietz 1983 July 07
The plaintiff, a prisoner, attempts to challenge the parole board's determination of his eligibility date, but the Court finds that an attack upon a parole elegibility determination is in reality a claim for an earlier release from confinement for which habeas corpus is the proper remedy. The complaint is dismissed with leave to reopen if the plaintiff exhausts state remedies without receiving adequate relief.
Troche v. Vliet 1983 August 05
The complaint is dismissed without prejudice because the suit cannot be maintained absent the plaintiff's exhaustion of state remedies.
Tucker v. Fauver 1983 March 10
The plaintiff, a prisoner, alleges that he has been deprived of several of his constitutional rights as a result of his transfer from Rahway State Prison to New Jersey State Prison at Trenton. With the exception of the plaintiff's allegations under the Eighth Amendment, the complaint is dismissed. The plaintiff is granted thirty days to secure affidavits relating to his living conditions at New Jersey State Prison at Trenton. The plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction condemning Wing Seven of the New Jersey State Prison at Trenton is denied because the plaintiff fails to present the requisite indicia of irreparable injury warranting injunctive relief. The plaintiff's motion requesting appointment of counsel to present his case is denied because the Court finds the plaintiff to be fully capable of presenting his grievances in an adequate manner.
Tucker v. Von Roll 1983 June 06
The action arises from the accidental death of the plaintiff's husband, an amusement park maintenance worker, who was killed attempting to repair a cable car ride constructed and sold to the park by defendant Brock. An order of summary judgment is entered in favor of defendant Travelers Indemnity Company of Rhode Island because Travelers cannot be held liable on its contract with defendant Brock, which was not in effect at the time of the plaintiff's husband's accidental death.
Ukarish v. Magnesium Elektron 1983 March 01

Finally the complaint is dismissed in its entirety, with prejudice and without costs.

State v. Thomas 1986 December 16
The case arises out of a previous complaint in which the plaintiffs (the State of New Jersey and the New Jersey DEP) sought to require the Administrator of the EPA to adopt regulations for the assessment of damages to natural resources ("B regulations") as required under CERCLA. In this case, plaintiff intervenor Public Citizen Litigation Group moves to enforce a consent order under which the Secretary of the Interior was required to promulgate final B regulations by a specified date. The Secretary believes he has complied with the consent order by submitting the final B regulations to the Federal Register. In the final regulations, the Department of the Interior deleted a "special resources" exception contained in the proposed regulations, reserving that matter for further consideration and public comment. The plaintiff intervenor's position is that the "final" regulations are incomplete due to the pendency of the Department's decision on the "special resources" exception and therefore, the department has failed to comply with the consent order. Whereas the plaintiff intervenor expresses its dissatisfaction as arising out of the defendant's failure to act, its complaint is actually with the contents of the final B regulations. Since review of any regulation promulgated under CERCLA may be had only in the Circuit Court of Appeals of the United States for the District of Columbia, and since the Department of the Interior has complied with the consent order, the plaintiff intervenor's motion to enforce compliance is denied.
