Rachel D. Godsil, Esq. hereby affirms that the following is true 

under the penalty of perjury: 

1: I am an attorney duly authorized to practice in the State of 

New York. TI am Assistant Counsel to the NAACP Legal Defense and 

Educational Fund, Inc. I make this affirmation in support of 

plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and in opposition to 

defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The facts set forth below are 

within my personal knowledge or are based upon information obtained 

from books and records of New York City, the New York City Health and 

Hospitals Corporation ("HHC"), and the New York City Economic

2. Attached herein is a copy of the appearance notice for the 

September 13, 1995 Board of Estimate Hearing concerning the sublease of 

the R&S Building located at the Bellevue Hospital Complex to Enzo 

Biochem Inc. Sixteen people testified in opposition to the sublease, 

including several representatives from the Community Board representing 

the area. It is inconceivable that these sixteen people attended the 

hearing and testified in opposition to the sublease solely as a result 

of their concern about the business terms. The interests of the 

Community Board undoubtedly stemmed from concern over land use.
