HARRY DONAS, Appellant, v. CITY OF NEW YORK et al., Respondents.

Although plaintiff's claim accrued no later than September 2003, when he allegedly was told that he would never be promoted, plaintiff failed to serve defendants with a notice of claim within 90 days thereafter, as required by General Municipal Law § 50-e (1) (a). He did not serve his notice of claim until January 26, 2005. Nor did plaintiff seek permission to file a late notice of claim ( see General Municipal Law § 50-e; § 50-i; Frank v City of New York, 240 AD2d 198). Moreover, a claim under Civil Service Law § 75-b must be brought within one year after it accrues (Civil Service Law § 75-b [c]; Labor Law § 740 [a]).

In his proposed amended complaint, plaintiff alleges ongoing retaliatory acts. However, absent any details of new discrete acts, rather than the effects of past acts, in the 90 days preceding his January 26, 2005 notice of claim, plaintiff's allegations are insufficient to establish a continuing violation claim ( see generally National Railroad Passenger Corporation v Morgan, 536 US 101, 114-115; Drayton v Veterans Admin., 654 F Supp 558, 567 [SD NY 1987]).

We have considered plaintiff's remaining contentions and find them unavailing.
