New York Court of Appeals

Vincent B. Brown, Appellant v. City of New York, Respondent, Defendants

November 23, 198360 N.Y.2d 893

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s dismissal of the plaintiff’s false arrest and malicious prosecution claims, holding that the lower court’s discretionary reversal was beyond the Court’s power to review and that there was no evidence that probable cause had dissipated, precluding a finding of malice.
