GLASCO WRIGHT, CLAIMANT-APPELLANT, v. STATE OF NEW YORK, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.
GLASCO WRIGHT, CLAIMANT-APPELLANT PRO SE. LETITIA JAMES, ATTORNEY GENERAL, ALBANY (PATRICK A. WOODS OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.
(CLAIM NO. 126445.) PRESENT:
GLASCO WRIGHT, CLAIMANT-APPELLANT PRO SE.
LETITIA JAMES, ATTORNEY GENERAL, ALBANY (PATRICK A. WOODS OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.
Appeal from an order of the Court of Claims (Michael E. Hudson, J.), entered July 5, 2018. The order granted the motion of defendant to dismiss the claim and dismissed the claim.
It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: Claimant, a pro se inmate, appeals from an order granting defendant's motion to dismiss the claim. We affirm. Claimant concedes that he served the claim by regular mail. Because he served the claim by regular mail, "the Court of Claims was deprived of subject matter jurisdiction and thus properly dismissed the claim" (Tuszynski v State of New York, 156 AD3d 1472, 1472-1473 [4th Dept 2017]; see generally Court of Claims Act § 11 [a]).
Entered: March 20, 2020
Mark W. Bennett
Clerk of the Court
