Court of Appeals of New York
Sandiford v. City of New York Department of Education, 157
Plaintiff has introduced evidence sufficient to withstand defendants' motion to dismiss her discrimination and retaliation claims under provisions of the New York City and New York State Human Rights Laws arising out of her termination for misconduct as a school aide, where there are triable issues of fact as to: 1) whether the principal's stated reason for terminating plaintiff was "merely a pretext for discrimination" 2) whether, absent a discriminatory motive, the referral of plaintiff to the Office of Special Investigation and the principal's subsequent decision to terminate plaintiff would have occurred; and 3) assertions that the principal retaliated against plaintiff for complaining to the Department of Education about his treatment of her.
