United States Second Circuit
Cortes v. MTA New York City Transit, 14-713
In a suit under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. sections 12112-12117, the district court's grant of summary judgment dismissing the claims is: 1) vacated and remanded with respect to plaintiff's disability discrimination claim where, relying on Collins v. New York City Transit Authority, 305 F.3d 113 (2d Cir. 2002), the district court gave almost preclusive weight to the NYSDHR's dismissal of this claim, however Collins addresses only the effect of arbitration awards under a collective bargaining agreement and does not apply to the decisions of state administrative agencies; but 2) otherwise affirmed.
