| Citation | 368 N.Y.S.2d 327,48 A.D.2d 748 |
| Parties | Claim of Mary KARRAS, Appellant, v. STATE of New York, Respondent. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Gair, Gair & Conason, New York City (Herman Schmertz, New York City, of counsel), for appellant.
Louis J. Lefkowitz, Atty. Gen. (Douglas L. Manley, Albany, of counsel) for respondent.
Before HERLIHY, P.J., and GREENBLOTT, SWEENEY, MAIN and REYNOLDS, JJ.
Appeal from an order of the Court of Claims, entered April 18, 1974, which denied claimant's motion for permission to file a late claim without the period of 90 days following the occurrence giving rise to the claim pursuant to subdivision 5 of section 10 of the Court of Claims Act.
We choose to affirm on the ground that the claimant has failed to allege a cause of action (see Chergotis v. State of New York, 259 App.Div. 369, 19 N.Y.S.2d 626). The acts which are alleged as being negligent clearly involved the exercise of governmental discretion which cannot give rise to liability (Weiss v. Fote, 7 N.Y.2d 579, 200 N.Y.S.2d 409, 167 N.E.2d 63; Burgundy Basin Inn, Ltd. v. State of New York, 47 A.D.2d 692, 364 N.Y.S.2d 610).
Order affirmed, without costs.
