Taylor v. Warden of the Manhattan Detention Center

Background

The provided text is a judgment in Roy Taylor’s case against OBCC C.O. Nieves and other defendants. It refers to a memorandum opinion and order dated November 30, 2020, but that memorandum is not included in the provided text. The judgment identifies a motion for summary judgment filed by the City and correctional officers and separately refers to Taylor’s wrongful-arrest claim against New York City Police Department officers.

Rulings

The court granted the City’s and correctional officers’ motion for summary judgment and entered judgment in their favor. Summary judgment is a decision resolving claims without a trial when the court determines the governing legal standard is met based on the record. The judgment does not state the court’s reasoning or identify which claims were resolved by that ruling.

The court dismissed Taylor’s wrongful-arrest claim against the New York City Police Department officers without prejudice. The judgment does not explain the reason for that dismissal. It also states that all other pending motions were denied as moot.

Appeal and Case Status

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court found that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith and denied Taylor permission to proceed without paying appellate filing fees. The judgment states that the case was closed. Judge Alison Nathan is identified in the supplied case information; the judgment itself is signed by the clerk, Ruby J. Krajick.
