GREEN v. THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 109298
GREEN v. THE STATE OF NEW YORK, #2005-030-517, Claim No. 109298, Motion No. M-69565
2005-030-517
M-69565
[M-69565] to renew brought pursuant to Civil Practice Law and Rules §2221(a) and (e):
1,2	Notice of Motion; "Affirmation" by Shawn Green, Claimant, sworn to December 21, 2004 with attachment
Affirmation by J. Gardner Ryan, Assistant Attorney General, dated January 24, 2005
4-6	Filed Papers: Claim, Answer; Decision and Order, Green v State of New York, Claim No. 109298, Motion Nos. M-69009, M-69010, CM-69043 (Scuccimarra, J. November 23, 2004), and underlying papers
Claimant argues that his Claim should not have been dismissed for jurisdictional reasons because although he did not serve it upon the Attorney General by certified mail, return receipt requested, [Court of Claims Act §§10 and 11], he served the claim by the alternative means provided for personal service under Civil Practice Law and Rules §312-a. He has attached a copy of an undated "Statement of Service by Mail" that he has signed, as well as a blank "Acknowledgement of Receipt of Service by Mail" form.
As pointed out in the Affirmation submitted by the Assistant Attorney General - and even assuming this method of personal service is available in the Court of Claims[1] - to be complete service pursuant to Civil Practice Law and Rules §312-a requires a properly signed acknowledgment of receipt sent to or received by a Claimant. Claimant avers only that he served the Claim pursuant to Civil Practice Law and Rules §312-a.
Additionally, the papers submitted - including as they do additional facts not included on the prior motion - do not present any rationale for the failure to present such information earlier, nor would such information have changed the Court's decision in any event.
Accordingly, Claimant's motion to renew [M-69565] is in all respects denied.
[1] See Court of Claims Act §11(a)(i) "...Personal service upon the attorney general shall be made in the same manner as described in section three hundred seven of the civil practice law and rules." See also Civil Practice Law and Rules §307(1) "Personal service upon the state shall be made by delivering the summons to an assistant attorney-general at an office of the attorney-general or to the attorney-general within the state."
