SIDNEY H. STEIN, U.S. District Judge
This action is brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by a former Assistant Chief of the New York Police Department, Charles Dowd, against NYPD internal affairs officers who allegedly maliciously subjected him to baseless ethical charges that he improperly accepted gifts from an outside vendor. Though Dowd was ultimately cleared of those charges after an administrative hearing, he claims that he was harmed by having to pay lawyers to defend him and by the continued presence of the departmental charges in his NYPD personnel file.
