Fuller v. State
Opinion of the Court
Claimant failed to establish the grounds for a constitutional tort (see Martinez v City of Schenectady, 97 NY2d 78 [2001]; cf. Brown v State of New York, 89 NY2d 172 [1996]). Furthermore, the State is not subject to liability in the Court of Claims for the consequences of official acts of a district attorney, under a theory of respondeat superior, because he is not an officer or employee of the State (Fisher v State of New York, 10 NY2d 60 [1961]; see Court of Claims Act § 9 [2]). Concur—Tom, J.P., Sullivan, Williams, Lerner and Sweeny, JJ.
