MOUNT VERNON: SPITZER SUES LANDLORD

The state attorney general, Eliot L. Spitzer, said yesterday that he had 
sued a Westchester landlord, demanding that he evict a tenant convicted of 
drug offenses. In a civil lawsuit in state court, Mr. Spitzer asked that 
the landlord, Anthony Manganiello, evict his tenant, Sonia Bryan, who was 
convicted in 1997 of criminal possession of marijuana. In undercover 
operations since then, the police have confiscated large quantities of 
marijuana from Ms. Bryan's Mount Vernon apartment, Mr. Spitzer said. The 
lawsuit also demands that Mr. Manganiello evict other such tenants.
