Outcome
The appellate court affirmed summary judgment in favor of the employer, MetroPlus Health Plan, Inc., dismissing the plaintiff's claims for racial discrimination and unlawful retaliation under New York state and city human rights laws. The court found the employer established legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for termination (OMIG audit results and failure to produce adequate analysis) and that the plaintiff failed to raise triable issues of fact regarding pretext or discriminatory motivation.
