June 26, 2019 | 2019-032-503 : ANDINO v. THE STATE OF NEW YORK, # 2019-032-503, Claim No. 125361 Following a trial on liability only, the Court dismisses the claim. Claimant failed to show that defendant acted negligently in failing to remedy a dangerous condition, namely a puddle of water in the corridor of Eastern Correctional Facility.

The Court finds both of these actions reasonable under the circumstances. |
