THE APPLICATION TO TREAT THE NOTICE OF INTENTION TO FILE A CLAIM (NOI) AS A TIMELY FILED CLAIM IN THIS PRISON STABBING CASE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department, reversing the Court of Claims, determined the notice of intention to file a claim (NOI) in this negligent supervision case met the requirements of a claim. Therefore the application to treat the NOI as a timely filed claim should have been granted. Claimant, a prison inmate, was stabbed in the eye:

Court of Claims Act § 10(8)(a) provides that a court may grant an application to treat an NOI as a claim if, among other things, the NOI “was timely served, and contains facts sufficient to constitute a claim; and the granting of the application would not prejudice the defendant.” Court of Claims Act § 11(b) requires a claim to specify: (1) the nature of the claim; (2) the time when it arose; (3) the place where the claim arose; (4) the items of damage or injuries claimed; and (5) the total sum claimed … . While section 11(b) does not require “absolute exactness,” the “guiding principle informing” section 11(b) pleading requirements is whether the State is “able to investigate the claim promptly and to ascertain its liability under the circumstances” … . “In describing the general nature of the claim, . . . or a notice of intention to file a claim, . . . [it] ‘should provide an indication of the manner in which the claimant was injured and how the State was negligent, or enough information so that how the State was negligent can be reasonably inferred'” … .

Here … the claimant provided sufficient details to meet the requirements outlined in Court of Claims Act § 11(b), including the nature of the claim and the alleged act of negligence by the State … . Johnson v State of New York, 2024 NY Slip Op 04949, Second Dept 10-9-24

Practice Point: Where a notice of intention to file a claim (NOI) includes sufficient information about the nature of the claim and the alleged negligence by the state, an application to treat the NOI as a timely filed claim should be granted.
