These officers committed perjury, suppressed exculpatory evidence, and fabricated evidence to frame these innocent individuals for crimes they were not parties to. The City of New York failed to meaningfully discipline Desormeau, Cordoba, and others, which indicates Desormeau and Cordoba engaged in such misconduct because they had \"every reason to believe\" that the City of New York and its police department condoned their behavior. \n\nIn 2014, Roosevelt McCo was strip-searched and falsely arrested for drug possession by Officers Desormeau and Cordoba, leading to his detention for over 50 days until charges were dismissed. Similarly, in 2015, Arthur West was wrongfully arrested for firearm possession and detained until the charges were dropped. Again similarly, in 2015, Arthur West was wrongfully arrested for firearm possession and detained until the charges were dropped. These wrongful actions caused severe emotional and physical injuries to the plaintiffs.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.475932/gov.uscourts.nyed.475932.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63007713/parkinson-v-desormeau/"},{"name":"Moore, Troy vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2022-03-02","disposition_date":"2024-07-12","payout_amount":385000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"22CV00694","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","documents":[{"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.475511/gov.uscourts.nyed.475511.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/62980775/moore-v-cordoba/"},{"name":"Douglas, Julian and Green, Sahel vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2019-05-31","disposition_date":"2021-04-20","payout_amount":2000000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"709207/2019","court":"Supreme Court - Queens","officer_name":"Neve, Sasha C.","summary":"On March 31, 2015, two people acting in concert killed a woman at her Jamaica, Queens home.  On April 24, 2015, Plaintiff Douglas was charged with the woman's murder, and later, on October 6, 2015, Plaintiff Green was similarly charged with the woman's murder.  The plaintiffs spent a combined 5.5 years incarcerated on Rikers Island.  Meanwhile, the NYPD possessed exculpatory evidence for years.  The plaintiffs were released on March 9, 2018.  The exculpatory evidence showed that the plaintiffs were not at the victim's home when the murder occurred.  \n\nMoreover, the key evidence against the plaintiffs was the result of NYPD coercion.  In particular, Detective Donnell Myers, Detective Stephen Lalchan, and Sergeant Diego Vivar, along with Detectives Daniel Gallagher, Keith Erhart, Anthony Faranda, and Patrick Roach, coerced incriminating testimony against the plaintiffs out of a witness, telling the witness that fabricating evidence against the plaintiffs would allow the witness to keep custody of her daughter.  Sometime before June 14, 2017, the witness recanted her statements, saying that, in reality, she had no reason to think that Plaintiffs Douglas and Green murdered the victim.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=ivj5Gb5ngoTbaVE8F97CRQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Lopez, Anthony vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-08-10","disposition_date":"2018-05-22","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"17CV04223","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Neve, Sasha C.","summary":"On or about July 10, 2014, either defendant Det.

The testimony given there was to the effect of illegal firearms previously or currently in the possession of someone at 108-25 154th Street. There are questions around if the C.I. provided truthful information in regards to the resident of that address. As a result, the judge signed a \"no knock\" search warrant. Prior to the incident date, the plaintiff has been in contact with the NYPD to discuss a neighborhood gun buyback. Plaintiff removed a shotgun and handgun from a family member's home and disassembled it in anticipation of following through with the gun buyback. On the morning of the incident date, the defendants executed a search of the incident address. In the end, the Queens Gang Squad found narcotics, drug paraphernalia, and the guns. Plaintiff was arrested and released on bail. Due to the arrest, the plaintiff was suspended from his Department of Education job and coaching positions. Plaintiff alleges that the narcotics found at his residence had to have been planted by the police. In one meeting with the Assistant District Attorney, he was told to never bring it up again or he would jeopardize any possible positive resolution of the case. Months later, the plaintiff received a plea bargain to a misdemeanor weapons possession charge and pleaded guilty. He was then fired from his position at the Department of Education and could not find suitable employment afterwards.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.404471/gov.uscourts.nyed.404471.16.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6123629/lopez-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Choice, Jamal vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-06-07","disposition_date":"2019-04-08","payout_amount":825000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"154886/2017","court":"Supreme Court - New York","officer_name":"Neve, Sasha C.","summary":"On November 6, 2014, Defendants wrongfully touched, grabbed, handcuffed, and seized Plaintiff in an excessive manner, causing him physical pain and mental suffering.
