At that time, Plaintiff called 911 to request police intervention in a nonviolent domestic dispute with her husband, Victor Espinoza. Thereafter, Officers John Doe 1 and 2 from the 114the precinct arrived at the scene. Plaintiff explained that she was in extreme emotional distress due to her marital troubles. In response, defendant John doe 1, a dark-skinned Latino male in his early 30s, began to berate and verbally abuse plaintiff for making the 911 call and for reading text messages on her husband’s phone. Further, Doe 1 then announced that he would be arresting plaintiff for “invading the privacy” of her husband,” then placed her in handcuffs, escorted her to his police car and drove her to the 114th Precinct. Doe 1 charged plaintiff with harassment, assault, and/or other “domestic violence” related offenses. Plaintiff was then taken to Queens County Central Booking and was held overnight.\n\nPlaintiff explained to the staff at Central Booking—officers of the NYPD or other agents of the City of New York—that she suffered from\ndiabetes and hypertension and required her prescription medication, yet nothing was done to address her condition. Plaintiff’s husband came to Central Booking with her prescription medication and asked that she be permitted to take her medicine. This request was denied. During her incarceration, plaintiff became dizzy, nauseous and disoriented, due to\nthe lack of her necessary medication. The next day, as plaintiff went to have her pre-arraignment interview with her attorney from the Legal Aid Society, she lost her balance, fell, and struck her head against the wall of the interview room and again on the floor. Plaintiff regained consciousness, and rather than wait to get medical attention in Central Booking, thus prolonging her incarceration, she elected to go through with her arraignment in order to be released. Plaintiff was offered, and accepted, an Adjournment in Contemplation in dismissal for all of the charges leveled against her by defendant officer John Doe 1. Plaintiff has had to undergo a series of medical treatments for the injuries she sustained in Central Booking, including treatment for neuropsychological and audiological conditions.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.387894/gov.uscourts.nyed.387894.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4573890/martinez-cano-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Gomez, Franklin vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-09-17","disposition_date":"2016-09-16","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"14CV05932","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Fisher, William","summary":"On December 20, 2009, Plaintiff arrived in New York from Miami to see his estranged wife and children.
