Davey v. State, 2005-08802.
Decision Date | 18 July 2006 |
Docket Number | 2005-08802. |
Citation | 2006 NY Slip Op 05745,817 N.Y.S.2d 918,31 A.D.3d 600 |
Parties | PETER F. DAVEY, Appellant, v. STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Court of Claims properly granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the claim. Under the facts alleged by the claimant, the actions complained of were judicial acts and therefore were protected by the doctrine of judicial immunity (see Matter of Covillion v Town of New Windsor, 123 AD2d 763, 763-764 [1986]; Sassower v Finnerty, 96 AD2d 585, 586 [1983]). The State "may not be held liable for the actions of a state-employed judge where, as here, those actions are cloaked with judicial immunity" (Montesano v State of New York, 11 AD3d 436 [2004]).
The claimant's remaining contentions are without merit.
