Guastamacchia v. New York City Dot

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 18, 1990
162 A.D.2d 587 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

June 18, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Garry, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiff's application for leave to file a late notice of claim was not made within one year and 90 days after the claim accrued. As a result, the Supreme Court properly concluded that it was without discretion to grant the relief requested (see, General Municipal Law § 50-e; Pierson v. City of New York, 56 N.Y.2d 950; Cohen v. Pearl Riv. Union Free School Dist., 51 N.Y.2d 256; Binyard v. City of New York, 151 A.D.2d 712). We note, moreover, that the plaintiff's untimely application cannot be deemed to relate back to a prior motion (see, Matter of Lopez v City of New York, 123 A.D.2d 765; Thomas v. City of New York, 102 A.D.2d 867; Stoute v. City of New York, 91 A.D.2d 1043, appeal dismissed 59 N.Y.2d 602). Thompson, J.P., Brown, Eiber and Miller, JJ., concur.
