Barkor v. City of Buffalo, 148 A.D.3d 1655, 51 N.Y.S.3d 743 (2017)
Adolphus Barkor sought to annul the determination of the Hearing Officer that he is not entitled to General Municipal Law ยง 207-c benefits. At the time of the subject on-duty injury, he was already receiving benefits as a result of prior on-duty injury. After returning to work in a light-duty capacity in the camera room, Barkor twisted his ankle exiting the restroom and allegedly exacerbated the prior injury. Following a hearing, the Hearing Officer determined that petitioner was able to perform his light-duty assignment in the camera room and thus was not totally disabled.
