Logan v. New York City Police Department
Logan v. New York City Police Department
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
In January 2005, Plaintiff-Appellant Patricia Logan, proceeding pro se, brought suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Muka
We assume the parties’ familiarity with the facts, the procedural history, and the scope of issues on appeal.
We affirm on the opinion of the district court. We note that Logan stated at oral argument that the charges from her allegedly false 1996 arrest were dropped within twenty-four hours, removing any doubt that the corresponding § 1983 claim is time-barred, as the district court had concluded. See Patterson v. County of Oneida, 375 F.3d 206, 225 (2d Cir. 2004) (“The statute of limitations applicable to claims brought under ...[§] 1983 in New York is three years.”); Covington v. City of New York, 171 F.3d 117, 121-23 (2d Cir. 1999) (holding that a false arrest claim accrues, at the latest, when the criminal prosecution is dismissed).
We have considered all of Logan’s arguments, and we have found them to be without merit. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
. The New York City Law Department was not served with Logan's complaint, see Fed. R.Civ.P. 4(c), 4(j)(2), and so declines to appear as counsel to the Police Department.
