The criminal case of a Bergen woman accused of stealing $35,000 from a former Rochester resident has been dismissed, but Judge Robert C. Noonan's order dismissing the charges is being hidden in the defendant's now-sealed court file.
A court official said as a routine matter, case files are sealed when charges are dismissed.
Noonan's order would possibly include his findings in the matter and explain any deficiencies in the government's case and possibly include exculpatory information favoring the defendant.
Michele Case, 45, of 7100 N. Bergen Road, Bergen, was subjected to a criminal investigation by State Police after allegations arose that she improperly obtained funds the woman's accounts while caring for the ailing, elderly woman.

Judge Noonan has declared this a case of nunya. That's a legal term not everyone is familiar with but I learned it trough a long and frustrating life. Often we want answers but we end up with a decision of nunya instead.

Hey, Michele, you know what
Hey, Michele, you know what is weird? I NEVER realized until just the other day they put FULL addresses in the police blotter. I do not like that at all. I read your comment on the other thread. I knew darn well I saw at least two articles saying you were 35. But I could not say for absolute certainty it was that article as I was only looking @ age. Good luck w/your other case.
