How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that certain state-law claims asserted against defendant housing authority \must be dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction\ because plaintiff’s notice of claim did not comply with Gen. Mun. Law § 50-e
• recognizing that, though the NYCHRL is “more protective” than its state and federal counterparts, a plaintiff must still meet his “burden of showing that the conduct [complained of] is caused by discriminatory motive” in support of a claim under that law
• explaining that the same standard for a prima facie case based on failure to accommodate exists under the ADA, NYSHRL, and NYCHRL
• explaining that allegations “founded on nothing more than Plaintiff’s self-serving ipse dixit” are “insufficient to defeat a motion for summary judgment” (citing Cifarelli v. Village of Babylon, 93 F.3d 47, 51 (2d Cir. 1996))
• dismissing NYCHRL claim where plaintiff “offer[ed] nothing but bare speculation to link [differential treatment] to any discriminatory (or retaliatory) motive or intent”
• rejecting Plaintiff's bare speculation linking behavior to discriminatory motive as insufficient to defeat a motion for summary judgment
