Richman v. Nussdorf

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 25, 1994
203 A.D.2d 548 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

April 25, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (O'Shaughnessy, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The trial court properly denied the plaintiff's motion to amend her complaint to allege a cause of action for negligent assault, as no such cause of action exists in this State. To the extent that the plaintiff sets forth any cognizable cause of action, it is barred by the one-year limitations period for intentional torts (see, CPLR 215). Mangano, P.J., Balletta, O'Brien, Hart and Florio, JJ., concur.
