Peterson v. Tomaselli

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an ADA’s decision “to apply for a search warrant falls into this category”
• finding that plaintiff's failure to file notice of claim warranted dismissal of his § 487 claim against City of New York and prosecutor
• holding that, although ADA’s actions were taken as a county official as opposed to a state officer, plaintiff’s claims against ADA “in his official capacity . . . are properly analyzed as if the claims were brought against the City of New York itself”
• granting summary judgment for municipal defendants where plaintiff failed to offer evidence showing that individual defendant had a policymaking role
• rejecting a procedural due process claim because “[p]laintiff could have initiated either an Article 78 proceeding or a state habeas proceeding to adjudicate his claim regarding his release date”
• dismissing Eighth Amendment claim on summary judgment and finding, inter alia, that the plaintiff has “not established a causal connection between any of [the defendant’s] actions and plaintiff’s extended incarceration”
