Joseph HAYON, Appellant, v. BOARD OF ELECTIONS IN the CITY OF NEW YORK, Respondent.
Opinion
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs.
Plaintiff commenced this small claims action against defendant Board of Elections of the City of New York to recover the principal sum of $54.40, representing the costs he had incurred in attempting to cure a defect in an election petition that he had filed with defendant. These costs included photocopies at $.25 per page and binding materials. Plaintiff moved for summary judgment and defendant cross-moved to dismiss the action on the ground, among others, that plaintiff had failed to timely file a notice of claim. The Civil Court denied plaintiff's motion and, in a separate order entered March 17, 2011, granted defendant's cross motion. Plaintiff appeals from the latter order.
Upon a review of the record, we agree with the Civil Court that a timely notice of claim had not been filed (see General Municipal Law § 50–e). We reach no other issue.
Accordingly, the order granting defendant's cross motion to dismiss the action is affirmed.
