Defendant officers awoke Plaintiff Stewart with a chokehold and headlock, forcefully grabbed him by the back of his neck, and repeatedly struck and punched Plaintiff Stewart in the jaw, face and body without cause or provocation. Defendant Officers applied handcuffs too tightly, causing Plaintiff Stewart pain in his hands and wrists. Defendant Officers were observed proceeding from various other locations around the Plaintiffs’ house into Plaintiff Stewart’s room to strike him multiple times each, with no apparent law enforcement purpose.\nPlaintiffs were transported to the 120th Precinct, where they were charged with violations and crimes they did not commit. While at the Precinct, Plaintiff Stewart, multiple times, requested medical treatment. Defendants ignored and mocked Plaintiff Stewart’s requests, threatening him with extended detention if he received medical treatment. Plaintiffs were held in police custody for approximately 35 hours before their release. On May 30, 2013, all charges against Plaintiffs were adjourned in contemplation of dismissal at their arraignments, and dismissed and sealed approximately 6 months later.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4920141-Stewart-et-al-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.356189.16.0.pdf","type":"complaint"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4920142-Stewart-et-al-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4323355/stewart-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Matthews, Elaine vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-03-14","disposition_date":"2013-10-28","payout_amount":30000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV01203","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Fried, Matthew","summary":"On August 27, 2010, Defendant Officers Hillery, Fago, Rivera, Fried, Brooks, Hernandez, Meigs, Sanchez, and Sposito all unlawfully entered Plaintiff's apartment without either consent, an arrest warrant, a lawful search warrant, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion that Plaintiff (or any third person) had committed a crime. Plaintiff lives with her daughter and both were awoken when said Defendant Officers rushed through her front door. After entering the apartment, Plaintiff and her daughter were not free to leave or disregard any questions. Plaintiff was intentionally struck and knocked into her refrigerator; one Defendant Officer grabbed Plaintiff by the neck and threw her to the floor; another Defendant Officer trampled Plaintiff and stepped on her breast. Plaintiff urinated on herself. Defendants then grabbed and twisted Plaintiff's arms and placed excessively tight handcuffs on her wrist. Defendant Officers then rushed at Plaintiff's daughter with their firearms drawn, yanked her off her bed and onto the floor, and wrenched her arms behind her black placing excessively tight handcuffs on her wrist as well. While Plaintiff and her daughter lay in their nightclothes and underwear on the floor, Defendant Officers walked around the apartment and eventually allowed Plaintiff and her daughter to sit in their living room. Defendant Officers continuously ignored Plaintiff and her daughter's concerns, questions, and complaints about her injuries. After more complaints of wanting to be dressed, one female Defendant officer finally allowed them to take turns and get dressed. Defendant Officers did not have any reasonable basis to use any degree of force. Plaintiff received medical treatment at a hospital. Those Defendant Officers who did not touch Plaintiff witnessed these acts of force and failed to intervene (though this is not an official cause of action). The search of the apartment did not result in any finding of controlled substances, contraband, or weapons. Defendant Officers Hillery, Fago, Rivera, Fried, Brooks, Hernandez, Meigs, Sanches, and Sposito initiated and falsely and maliciously told the Richmond County DA's office that Plaintiff and her daughter committed various crimes by stating, among other things, that they were in possession of an amount of marijuana. RCDA declined to prosecute Plaintiff's daughter and she was released from Central Booking without any charges filed against her, while Plaintiff was arraigned. Defendant Officer Hillery and Fago obtained an unlawful search warrant by recklessly, deliberately, and inadequately conducting an investigation, and/or purposely misrepresenting facts to a court official. As a result of Plaintiff's arraignment and charges filed against her, she was wrongfully terminated from her place of employment. Defendant officers continuously claimed falsely that Plaintiff was smoking marijuana on the date of her arrest.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.340003.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4919786-Matthews-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4322461/matthews-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Depinto, Vincent vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-01-14","disposition_date":"2014-05-28","payout_amount":50000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"12CV06321","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Fried, Matthew","summary":"On September 23, 2011, plaintiff was arrested inside of 561 Rathbun Avenue, Staten Island, New York, placed in severely over tight handcuffs, and forced to remain in tight handcuffs for a prolonged period of time, resulting in injuries.
