Versosa v. City of New York

The complaint in this action against the defendant the City of New York and one Bruno Martinelle, a police officer, in the first cause of action charges the defendants with assault and in the second cause of action with malicious prosecution and false arrest. The third cause of action is brought on behalf of the plaintiff husband for loss of services and medical expenses.

Plaintiffs move to strike various portions of the answer interposed by the defendant City of New York on the ground that some of the denials are sham and frivolous and that certain affirmative defenses are insufficient in law.
