Plaintiff called defendant White, who told him to appear at the 44th precinct. Upon his arrival, the Plaintiff was placed under arrest based on an accusation that he committed a robbery at knife-point. The defendants did not produce a warrant for his arrest. He was handcuffed, fingerprinted, and placed in a cell. The handcuffs were placed excessively tight and held in place for several hours, resulting in blood loss, numbness, and superficial bruising. The Plaintiff was assaulted and battered by the arresting officers. Detective James White, Officer Claudio Velez, Officers Calvin Black, Jason Valentino, and John Ortiz, Sergeant Letty Donley, Ray Fuller, Sergeant Jesse Hernandez, Vincent Trozzi, and Michael Bopp verbally abused and intimidated the Plaintiff. He was transported to Central Booking where he was held for 24 hours, and then he was released. \n\nThe Plaintiff told the officers that he was at work at the time of the crime and gave the name and number of a supervisor who could confirm his alibi. He also provided his metro card so that the officers could verify that he was not near the location of the alleged crime at the time of the offense, but the officers did not attempt to verify his innocence. The Plaintiff also learned that he did not fit the description of the robber. His roommates informed him that previously officers had come to his apartment regarding the same allegations and showed the robbery victim a lineup of his roommates. The victim said that none of the roommates fit the description of the robber because they were “African” whereas the assailant was an “American black male.” The plaintiff comes from Mali, Africa and speaks very little English with a heavy accent.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.461338/gov.uscourts.nysd.461338.29.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4524164/abdoulaye-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Martinez, Rafael, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-08-21","disposition_date":"2015-02-26","payout_amount":40000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV05292","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"White, James","summary":"On August 10, 2011, Plaintiffs Rafael Martinez and Karina Perez were unlawfully stopped, searched, arrested and subjected to excessive force by detectives Anthony Marion, James White, David Kantor, and Oscar Fernandez.

Garcia, and P.O. John and Jane Does # 1-5, at times acting in concert and at times acting independently, committed the following illegal acts against the plaintiff. On March 25, 2010, at approximately 6:00 a.m., at and in the vicinity of 562 Academy Street, Apartment H24, New York, New York, plaintiff was an overnight guest in the apartment when, without consent, an arrest warrant, a lawful search warrant, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion that plaintiff (or any third person) had committed a crime, the defendants unlawfully entered the apartment by breaking through the door and drew their firearms at plaintiff and her eleven month old child. Once the defendant officers entered the apartment, plaintiff was not free to disregard their questions, or walk way or leave the scene. While inside the apartment, defendants, without consent, an arrest warrant, a lawful search warrant, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion to believe that plaintiff (or any third person) had committed a crime falsely arrested plaintiff. During the arrest of plaintiff, defendants committed excessive force against her, by maliciously, gratuitously, and unnecessarily pointing a firearm at her, grabbing plaintiff, and placing excessively tight handcuffs on plaintiff's wrists. Those defendants who did not touch plaintiff, witnessed these acts, but failed to intervene and protect plaintiff from this conduct.The individual defendant officers did not have an objective and/or reasonable basis to use any degree of force against plaintiff, since plaintiff was unarmed, compliant, and did not resist arrest. Plaintiff was physically injured as a result of the excessive use of force, and suffered numbness and marks to her wrists. Plaintiff asked the individual defendants to loosen the cuffs, but they did not. Plaintiff told the defendants that she was not a resident of the apartment but they ignored her and threatened to take her child to protective services if she did not inform them of criminal activity within the apartment.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4919330-Miyares-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4349238/miyares-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Jaquez v.
