Outcome

The Second Circuit affirmed summary judgment in favor of the New York State Department of Labor, holding that the employer's legitimate, non-retaliatory reason for not considering plaintiff for a new position (her poor documented performance in a prior role) was not pretextual, and that plaintiff failed to establish but-for causation for her Title VII retaliation claim.
