New York Court of Appeals

Erno Nussenzweig, Appellant v. Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Respondents

November 15, 20079 N.Y.3d 184

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the summary‑judgment dismissal, holding that the one‑year statute of limitations for Civil Rights Law §§ 50‑51 privacy claims runs from the date the photograph was first published, not from the plaintiff’s discovery, and therefore the claim was time‑barred.
