POLICE REPORT DID NOT NOTIFY CITY OF THE NATURE OF PETITIONER’S FALSE ARREST, FALSE IMPRISONMENT AND MALICIOUS PROSECUTION CLAIMS, PETITION TO FILE LATE NOTICE OF CLAIM PROPERLY DENIED (SECOND DEPT

The Second Department determined the petition to file a late notice of claim in this false arrest, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution action was properly denied. The police report association with petitioner's arrest did not provide notice of the claims to the city and that allegation that petitioner's assigned counsel did not timely inform him of the notice of claim requirement was not an adequate excuse:

… [T]he involvement of a City police officer in arresting the petitioner did not, without more, establish that the City acquired actual knowledge of the essential facts constituting the petitioner's claims of false arrest, false imprisonment, and malicious prosecution within 90 days following their accrual or a reasonable time thereafter… . In addition, the contents of the arrest report and the certificate of disposition, submitted by the petitioner in support of his application, were insufficient to impute actual knowledge to the City of the facts underlying his claims … . Further, the petitioner failed to establish that the delay in serving a notice of claim and seeking leave to serve such notice would not substantially prejudice the City in maintaining its defense on the merits with respect to those claims … . Matter of Islam v City of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 05763, Second Dept 8-15-18
