Notices of claim.

General Municipal Law § 50-e(7) provides that all applications for leave to serve a late notice of claim "shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed notice of claim."  However, failure to submit a copy of the proposed notice is a technical defect that a court may overlook in its discretion, pursuant to CPLR 2001.
