Opinion

7868.

February 16, 2006.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert D. Lippmann, J.), entered November 3, 2004, which, inter alia, granted defendant City of New York's motion to dismiss the complaint as against it, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Alfreda Royster, appellant pro se.

Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York (Francis F. Caputo of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Buckley, P.J., Sullivan, Williams, Gonzalez and Catterson, JJ. Concur.


The complaint was properly dismissed as against the City in the absence of evidence that the City received prior written notice of the alleged roadway defect (Administrative Code of City of NY § 7-201 [c] [2]; see Katz v. City of New York, 87 NY2d 241, 243). Contrary to plaintiff's suggestion, the action was not dismissed against the City for failure to file a notice of claim.
