Martin v. Mathis

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the plaintiff's Title VII and ADA claims were precluded by a settlement agreement/general release from a prior lawsuit
• explaining that an ADA plaintiff must allege that the defendants’ conduct created a hostile environment “because of the plaintiff’s . . . disability” (citations, footnote, and quotation marks omitted)
• noting that “district courts within the Second Circuit ‘have consistently held that a passage of more than two months between the protected activity and the adverse employment action does not allow for an inference of causation”
• noting that driving and commuting to work are not major life activities
• finding plaintiff’s conclusory allegations that she suffered “disrespectful treatment, retaliation and harassment” insufficient to plead hostile work environment claim
• dismissing retaliation claim because the causal connection was too “attenuated” where alleged complaint and retaliation occurred six months apart
