False Arrest, Malicious Prosecution, and 1983 Actions Allowed to Proceed

In reversing the trial court’s grant of summary judgment to the defendants in an action for false arrest, malicious prosecution and violation of 42 USC 1983, the Second Department wrote:

…[I]n opposition to the Allstate defendants’ prima facie showing, the plaintiff raised triable issues of fact as to whether the Allstate defendants affirmatively induced law enforcement officials to act by taking an active part in the arrest and procuring it to be made, or by engaging in active, officious, and undue zeal to the point where the law enforcement officials were not acting of their own volition … . The plaintiff’s submissions were also sufficient to raise triable issues of fact as to whether the Allstate defendants intentionally provided false information to law enforcement officials or withheld material information …, thereby permitting an inference of actual malice … . The plaintiff’s submissions additionally raised triable issues of fact as to whether the Allstate defendants “engaged in a conspiracy with state officials to deprive [plaintiff] of federal rights” … . Accordingly, the Supreme Court should have denied the Allstate defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them. Robles v City of New York, 2013 NY Slip Op 01814, 2011-11017, Index No 27364/07, 2nd Dept. 3-20-13
