Hale v. Messineo ( 1988 )

Because the statements made by the defendant in her complaint to the New York City Police Department Civilian Complaint Review Board are protected by an absolute privilege (see, Magnus v Anpatiellos, 130 AD2d 719), the Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiffs request for disclosure of these statements (see, Cirale v 80 Pine St. Corp., 35 NY2d 113, 117; Matter of Weinberg, 129 AD2d 126; Hoffman v Ro-San Manor, 73 AD2d 207). Weinstein, J. P., Fiber, Sullivan and Balletta, JJ., concur.
