Judge: No Protective Order in Court Case Against East Haven Mayor

NEW HAVEN--A New Haven judge ruled against a protective order in the case against East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr.

The New Haven Register reports that Superior Court Judge Steven D. Ecker made the ruling against the protective order last week. Maturo is involved in a court case with ex East Haven staffer Francine Carbone.

Carbone, a former town hall secretary, had filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the mayor last spring.

The protective order, filed by Carbone's lawyer, sought to prevent the mayor's attorney from using a deposition from Robert Pesapane in the case, The New Haven Register reports.
