Eric Richmond, who lost the Brooklyn Lyceum to a developer in a foreclosure auction last year, is claiming that the judge who allowed its sale lied when she told him he had seven days to appeal her ruling. Richmond claims that she filed her ruling on September 30, but when he filed his appeal on October 7 she told him it was a day late and threw it out. "If you're given seven days, you're supposed to get seven days — and you can't just change that after the fact," Richmond said. "My main goal is getting the building back, but if I have to fall on the sword of due process, I will fall on that sword." [Brooklyn Paper; previously]
