Hamilton, Denaro vs The City of Ny, et al.
Case # 24CV02550, U.S. District Court - Southern District NY, April 16, 2024
Complaint
Description: On July 23, 2023, defendants NYPD Detective Brian J Zupo and NYPD Detective Winston I. Courtney made a warrantless seizure of a 2017 Chrysler 200 motor vehicle belonging to the Plaintiff. Plaintiff has made repeated requests for the release of his vehicle, but his requests have been ignored by the defendants, who have no basis for retaining continuing possession of Plaintiff's vehicle, as there is no pending criminal case within which the vehicle is needed as evidence. Even if there were, the defendants have violated the Plaintiff's constitutional rights by affording the Plaintiff no pre-seizure notice, pre-seizure hearing or post-seizure hearing.
