Lawsuits
Urena, Ramon, et al. vs City of New York, et al.Case # 032579/2018E, Supreme Court - Bronx, November 14, 2018
Complaint
Description: On or about October 5, 2016, plaintiffs Ramon Urena and Jonathan Urena-Martinez were falsely accused, without probable cause of trespassing by NYPD Sergeants Genao and Joyce and NYPD officers Barreto, Baez and Vasquez. Upon favorable dismissal of all charges in Bronx Criminal Court, defendants deliberately and falselu filed a criminal complaint in Queens County Criminal Court. This resulted in significant humiliation and unnecessary time which hindered their occupations and caused them to incur expenses for the defense of charges the defendants knew to be false and baseless.
