RAEL v. STATE

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 28, 1986
119 A.D.2d 816 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

April 28, 1986

Appeal from the Court of Claims (Lengyel, J.).


Order affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Based upon a review of the record, we conclude that the Court of Claims did not abuse its discretion in denying the claimant's application to serve a late notice of claim pursuant to Court of Claims Act § 10 (6). The claimant failed to present sufficient evidence to establish that the State had notice of the essential facts constituting his claim or that the State had an opportunity to investigate the circumstances of the accident. In addition, no reasonable excuse has been offered for the delay. In view thereof, the claimant's application was properly denied. Mollen, P.J., Weinstein, Rubin and Spatt, JJ., concur.
