STATE COURT CASES
CIVIL PROCEDURE — DISMISSAL

07-2-7769 Jones v. Englewood Housing Authority, App. Div. (per curiam) (5 pp.) Plaintiff alleges that she was wrongfully denied Section 8 housing assistance by the Englewood Housing Authority. The Authority moved for summary judgment for non-compliance with the New Jersey Tort Claims Act (TCA). The judge granted summary judgment for failing to file a timely Notice of Claim or Notice of Late Claim. The appellate panel does not agree with the Authority that this claim is governed by the TCA. Nonetheless, finding the complaint fails to state a cause of action, the panel affirms summary judgment in favor of defendant, dismissing plaintiff’s complaint with prejudice.
