Head Matter:
J. L. Ivey, Jr., Respondent, v State of New York, Respondent and Erie County District Attorney, Appellant.
(Claim No. 70708.) (Appeal No. 3.)

Opinion:
Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: The Court of Claims properly denied defendant's motion to dismiss the claim herein on the grounds that (1) claimant's conviction was not reversed on one of the limited grounds set forth in the Unjust Conviction and Imprisonment Act (Court of Claims Act § 8-b) and (2) the claim does not comply with statutory pleading requirements. It is not necessary that claimant's conviction has been reversed on one of the grounds specifically enumerated in section 8-b (3) (b) (ii) of the Court of Claims Act where, as here, there was a retrial and an acquittal (Ferrer v State of New York, 136 Mise 2d 218, affd 136 AD2d 487). With respect to the pleading requirements, copies of this court's memorandum decision reversing claimant's conviction and ordering a new trial (People v Ivey, 83 AD2d 788) as well as the minutes of the retrial showing his acquittal are attached to the claim. It therefore sufficiently complies with the pleading requirements of Court of Claims Act § 8-b (4) (see, Grimaldi v State of New York, 133 AD2d 97; Reed v State of New York, 133 AD2d 105; Lanza v State of New York, 130 AD2d 872, 873-874).
