Ahmed v. City of New York

In Ahmed v. City of New York, 14 AD3d 388, 788 NYS2d 91 (1st Dept 2005) although it was uncontroverted that Lehrer McGovern's worked at the Ramaz School was completed more than three months prior to plaintiff's alleged trip and fall on a sidewalk abutting the school's premises, it was also uncontroverted that the block plaintiff allegedly tripped over was, at the time of the accident, used as a door stop at the Ramaz premises. And, the City has failed to articulate any colorable claim against Lehrer McGovern, nor had the City demonstrated that it either conducted or sought discovery from Lehrer McGovern prior to Lehrer McGovern's motion.
