New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Essex County, Appellants v. Michael D. Zagata, as Commissioner of New York State Department…
April 7, 199891 N.Y.2d 447
Summary
The Court held that the APA's February 29, 1996 letter constituted a final agency determination, triggering the 60‑day statute of limitations, so the County's claims against the APA were untimely. It affirmed the dismissal of those claims and reversed/remanded the DEC's denial allegations for further adjudication.
