Conclusion Meanings:

'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - The alleged conduct was investigated but could not determine both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Lehman, Brian vs Titterton, Brian, et al.
Case # 18CV00914, U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY, February 12, 2018, ended May 23, 2018
Zero Disposition
Complaint
Description: On February 13, 2015, NYPD officers Titterton and Maria entered Plaintiff’s apartment without his consent and without a warrant. Plaintiff demanded the defendant officers leave his apartment; Officer Titterton responded by threatening to file a false report against Plaintiff and have him detained at a hospital. After the incident, Plaintiff filed a CCRB complaint against both officers. The CCRB found that Officer Maria abused his authority by unlawfully entering Plaintiff’s apartment, but made no findings against Officer Titterton because he resigned after the CCRB charges were filed. After the CCRB made no findings against Officer Titterton, he rejoined the NYPD.

Complaint
Description: Plaintiff's ex-wife informed him that she made a complaint against him at the 108th Precinct and plaintiff went there to turn himself in.
