First, the plaintiff took his truck to the defendant’s shop for repairs, only to get a call several weeks later from the cops saying it had been stolen and was currently at impound. The defendant went to get the car back and refused to return it to the plaintiff unless he was repaid for the cost of release. The defendant says the plaintiff wanted to sell the car, but the defendant wasn’t interested since he couldn’t provide a title. The car was left on the street, and the plaintiff became threatening. He says he helped the guy out by getting it back from impound.

Then, the plaintiff, who was friends with the defendant’s son, was leaving the defendant’s house one day when their two dogs attacked him. He claims one went for his throat, and he says he’s lucky to still be alive. He’s suing the defendant for the amount he owes in medical bills. The defendant says the plaintiff was high on pot when the event happened, and she had told him to stay in the room he was in because she was letting her dogs out. He didn’t listen and went outside anyway. He admits to kicking one of the dogs, which caused the attack. Since the dog was trained as a guard dog, she’s not responsible for any damages.

Plus, the plaintiff rented a house from the defendant, but after Hurricane Sandy hit, it became uninhabitable. Now the defendant is refusing to return the security deposit, and the plaintiff wants it back, so he’s suing. The defendant claims that the damages caused to the house had no impact on the floor the plaintiff lived on, but he decided to move out anyway. He claims the plaintiff left the unit a mess with lots of his own damages, giving the defendant every reason to keep the security deposit.
