Opinion
April 27, 1987
Appeal from the Court of Claims (Silverman, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Where a claimant files a notice of intent within the prescribed statutory period of Court of Claims Act § 10, the court may, in its discretion, deem the notice of intent as the claim when the notice meets the requirements set forth under Court of Claims Act § 11 for the stating of claims (Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v State of New York, 121 A.D.2d 694; Chalmers Son v State of New York, 271 App. Div. 699, affd 297 N.Y. 690). The court in the instant case did not abuse its discretion in deeming the notice of intent to be a claim. Brown, J.P., Niehoff, Sullivan and Harwood, JJ., concur.
