Papers Considered: Notice of Motion, Affirmation & Exhibits Annexed 1-4 Affidavit in Opposition & Exhibits Annexed 5-7 DECISION AND ORDER Upon the foregoing papers and for the following reasons, the Motion by Defendant State of New York (hereinafter “State”), seeking the dismissal of this Claim, is granted and the Claim is hereby dismissed as provided herein below. Pursuant to Court of Claims Act §11, Claimant, Etan Leibovitz (hereinafter “claimant”) served a Notice of Intention to File a Claim upon the Attorney General’s Office on February 13, 2023, attempting to provide notice of an action against the Defendant State of New York (hereinafter “State”), alleging that “[t]he acts of the defendant: NY State Court Officers Kenneth Coy[,] Shield #8130, Michael Zebro[,] Shield #8261 — False Arrest, False Imprisonment, Assault and Battery, Malicious Prosecution Docket No. CR 028558-22QN, Negligence, Negligent Hiring, Retention and Training[.] Arrested on November 15, 2022 at approximately 10 AM — Queens Civil Court 3rd floor hallways” (Notice of Intention to File a Claim, at 1, 2).
