It appears highly unlikely that there can be a basis for recovery, but the seriousness of the allegations, in light of the publ ic interest in the transparency of, and confidence in, the Police Department, requires a public trial. Plaintiffs having been informed of the high probability that they cannot establish their case, the losing parties or party will be assessed costs and disbursements. Ordered by Senior Judge Jack B.
