Court Has No Authority to Grant Application to File Late Notice of Claim After Statute of Limitations Has Expired.
Plaintiff filed a notice of claim and commenced a suit against the City of New York. The complaint was amended to add the New York City Transit Authority as a defendant. The First Department affirmed the dismissal of the complaint against the Transit Authority because no notice of claim against the Transit Authority had been filed and the motion to file a late notice of claim was made more than one year and 90 days after the incident.
