Nancy Wright (Partner-New York, NY) and associates Stefanie Shmil and Amy Largacha Cedeno prevailed in Queens County Supreme Court on behalf of a practitioner and his medical practice in a case in which a former patient alleged she was sexually abused from 1994–2006, without proffering any specific dates. Plaintiff asserted claims under the Adult Survivors Act sounding in assault, battery, negligence, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent hiring, retention, and supervision. The court, in the very first line of its Preliminary Considerations, noted and echoed the teams’ dismissal argument that the plaintiff’s submission was deficient in a number of respects, highlighting the incorrect caption, listing of the wrong plaintiff, and referencing the wrong defendants and arguments culled from another case – and noted that the plaintiff’s counsel’s excuse for these errors was “unacceptable and unavailing” and cited the pitfalls of copying and pasting from documents in other cases. The court agreed with the team’s dismissal arguments that the plaintiff’s various negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and negligent hiring and supervision claims were legally deficient and, in some instances, duplicative and dismissed those claims. The court also granted our client’s request for a more definitive statement as to the remaining claims, directing the plaintiff to amend her complaint to set forth specific dates, or at least the month and years when she alleges the sexual abuse purportedly occurred.
