FRAISER v. THE STATE OF NEW YORK, # 2017-040-086, Claim No. 129388, Motion No. M-90509
UID: 2017-040-086
Claimant(s): MARCUS FRAISER 15B0863
Claimant short name: FRAISER
Claim number(s): 129388
Motion number(s): M-90509
Claimant's attorney: Marcus Fraiser, Pro Se
Claimant, Marcus Fraiser, appearing pro se, seeks leave to proceed as a poor person and for assignment of counsel pursuant to CPLR § 1101(a). The Claim was filed in the office of the Clerk of the Court on March 3, 2017 and alleges that, between December 22 and December 25, 2016, while he was at Central New York Psychiatric Center, he was given a medication by a nurse, to which he had a known allergy, and he had an allergic reaction to it. Claimant asserts that Defendant was negligent in providing him with that medication.
Attached to the Claim is an Affidavit in Support of an Application pursuant to CPLR § 1101(f) to reduce the amount of the Court of Claims filing fee. By Order filed March 23, 2017, Acting Presiding Judge Richard E. Sise reduced Claimant's filing fee from $50 to $20 pursuant to CPLR § 1101(f). Claimant now seeks leave to proceed as a poor person and for assignment of counsel.
Pursuant to CPLR § 1101(c), if an action has been commenced, notice of a poor person motion shall be served on all parties and shall also be given to the county attorney in the county in which the action is triable. Notice to the county attorney is a significant requirement because certain costs may be a county charge (see CPLR 1102; Hines v State of New York, UID No. 2005-028-534 [Ct Cl, Sise, P.J., June 21, 2005]; Jabbar v State of New York, UID No. 2006-044-504 [Ct Cl, Schaewe, J., Oct. 20, 2006]). The action is triable in the county where the claim accrued, in this case, Oneida County, since that is where the alleged acts occurred. Claimant has failed to establish that he served a copy of this Motion upon the Oneida County Attorney. Thus, pursuant to CPLR § 1101(c), his Motion is defective and must be denied on those grounds (Sebastiano v State of New York, 92 AD2d 966 [3d Dept 1983]; Harris v State of New York, 100 Misc 2d 1015, 1016 [Ct Cl 1979]).
The following papers were read and considered by the Court on Claimant's Motion seeking poor person status and assignment of counsel pursuant to CPLR §§ 1101 and 1102(a):
