OPENING STATEMENT ALLEGING EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS FATALLY INCONSISTENT WITH NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS, NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS PROPERLY DISMISSED ON THAT GROUND.

Plaintiffs' opening statement warranted dismissal of the negligence and negligent battery claims, because the claim that defendant … used excessive force in handcuffing plaintiff … is fatally inconsistent with the negligence claims … . Vaynshelbaum v City of New York, 2016 NY Slip Op 04302, 1st Dept 6-2-16
