Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
In light of the recent amendment of Court of Claims Act § 11 (b) (L 2007, ch 606, § 1), retroactively abrogating Kolnacki v State of New York ( 8 NY3d 277), the instant claim was not jurisdictionally defective notwithstanding the absence of an ad damnum clause.
The parties' remaining contentions need not be addressed in light of our determination.
