Michael D. Miness, president of the Glengariff Corporation, has filed a 52-page legal brief with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn seeking to reverse the decision of Nassau County Supreme Court Justice John DiNoto who dismissed Mr. Miness' libel action against the Glen Cove GOP and David Zatlin.
