Outcome

The appellate court reversed the trial court's denial of the employer's motion to dismiss, granting dismissal of the plaintiff's discrimination and retaliation claims under the New York State Human Rights Law. The court found that the plaintiff failed to allege sufficient facts to support a disability discrimination claim and that requesting a reasonable accommodation does not constitute protected activity for retaliation purposes.
