Serrano v David 2007 NY Slip Op 08284 [45 AD3d 270] November 1, 2007 Appellate Division, First Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, January 16, 2008

Angel Serrano, Appellant,
v
Jonathan David et al., Respondents.

—[*1] Angel Serrano, appellant pro se.

Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York City (Cheryl Payer of counsel), for respondents.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard F. Braun, J.), entered September 12, 2006, which granted respondent's motion to dismiss petitioner's Freedom of Information Law application as time-barred, and dismissed the petition, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

If petitioner was dissatisfied with respondent Police Department's denial of his first request for all police records relating to his 1996 arrest, he was required, in order to preserve his right to judicial review, to exhaust his administrative remedies by filing an administrative appeal within 30 days (Matter of Jamison v Tesler, 300 AD2d 194 [2002]). Belated judicial review of that denial cannot be based on petitioner's second request for the same records, albeit more specifically described (id.). Concur—Tom, J.P., Saxe, Sullivan, Gonzalez and Sweeny, JJ.
