New York v. Association of Surrogates & Supreme Court Reporters

How later courts describe this case

• observing that a court need not consider issues not germane to the claim when deciding a motion for summary judgment
• nonmoving party must show how additional discovery will defeat summary judgment motion, i.e., create genuine dispute as to material fact and that nonmoving party must show that he has diligently pursued discovery of evidence in question
• invalidating, under Contract Clause of the federal Constitution, a lag program where a two week lag phased in by paying 9 days' pay for ten days' work, and where uncompensated days would be paid to employees "at the termination of their employment with the state."
• "substantial impairment" when the state delays the payment of ten days salary to certain state employees during a fiscal crisis and promised to pay salary at later date
