Glenn Kurtzrock, appellant pro se. Suffolk County Traffic Prosecutor's Office, for respondent (no brief filed).
Appeal from a judgment of the District Court of Suffolk County, Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency (Allen Mathers, J.H.O.), entered on September 7, 2022. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, imposed a $250 civil liability upon defendant as the owner of a vehicle which had failed to stop for a stopped school bus.
ORDERED that the judgment is reversed, without costs, and the notice of liability is dismissed.
Defendant was served with a notice of liability pursuant to Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1174-a. The notice states that a vehicle owned by defendant failed to stop for a stopped school bus on March 7, 2022, at 200 block of County Road 100, Central Islip, New York. At a nonjury trial, the video depicting the violation was reviewed by the court. The court found defendant liable and a judgment was entered imposing a $250 civil liability.
Defendant appeals, and the People consent to a reversal in light of this court's decision in People v Croce (— Misc 3d —, 2023 NY Slip Op 23399 [App Term, 2d Dept, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2023]).
