I went to the Erie County Clerks office today to get a copy of the lawsuit reportedly filed by Detective Zawierucha. I found out that their has been no such filing as of today. Upon further investigation it has been relayed to me by Hamburg Town Attorney Jim Sorrentino that the only thing submitted to the town was a “Notice of Intent to File a Claim.”
This is necessary in order to extend the time limit for a suit to be brought against a party and the party in this case is the Town of Hamburg and individuals who work for the town.
So because of this fact I am issuing a retraction to the article about lawsuits against the town and specifically the statement that Detective Zawierucha had filed the suit in State Supreme Court. Even I can get it wrong once in a while. Upon information and belief the suit should be filed soon and I will have a copy of the complaint up soon there after.
