NICHOLAS G. GARAUFIS, United States District Judge. Plaintiff Dr. Wen-Ting Zheng-Smith brings this action against Defendants Nassau Healthcare Corporation d/b/a NUHealth System, Dr. Victor Politi ("Dr. Politi"), and Dr. John Riggs ("Dr. Riggs") (collectively, "Defendants"), following the termination of her residency in the Department of Obstetrics ...
Plaintiff was born and educated in China where she received her initial medical training. (Tr. of Dec. 1, 2017 Def. Dr. Riggs ("Riggs Tr.") (Dkt. 32-3) at 16:18-24.) She immigrated to the United States and worked for five years at Mount Sinai Hospital where she was an embryologist. (Id.at 17:2-3.) In June 2015, Plaintiff began her residency as a fi...
Plaintiff maintains that she was subject to discrimination as a Chinese immigrant and to a hostile work environment. Specifically, she alleges that Dr. Riggs disparaged her accent and oral communication abilities on multiple occasions: Defendants deny the allegations related to those specific instances. (Defs.’ Ans. (Dkt. 13) ¶¶ 40, 45, 47, 50, 51....
Summary judgment is appropriate when "the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 56(a). "The role of the court is not to resolve disputed issues of fact but to assess whether there are any factual issues to be tried. In determining whether s...
Because Plaintiff alleges overlapping factual claims that constitute violations of multiple federal and state statutes, the court organizes its analysis by theory of discrimination.
Claims for race and national origin discrimination under Title VII, NYSHRL, and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 are all analyzed using the burden-shifting framework established by the Supreme Court in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green , 411 U.S. 792, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973). See Walsh , 828 F.3d at 74-75 (applying framework to Title VII and NYSHRL); G...
Plaintiff asserts claims for hostile work environment under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e and the NYSHRL. As with discrimination, analyses of hostile work environment claims under federal and New York law are coextensive. Davis-Bell v. Columbia Univ. , 851 F. Supp. 2d 650, 670 (S.D.N.Y. 2012). Although courts are generally reluctant to grant summary judgment i...
Plaintiff also asserts claims for retaliation under Title VII and NYSHRL. "In order to defeat a motion for summary judgment addressed to a claim of retaliation ... plaintiff must first present sufficient evidence to make out a prima facie case, that is, evidence sufficient to permit a rational trier of fact to find (1) that she engaged in protected...
Finally, Plaintiff asserts a claim under NYSHRL insofar as it provides that it is an unlawful discriminatory practice to "aid, abet, incite, compel or coerce" any act forbidden by the statute. NY. Exec. Law § 296(6). Because the court now dismisses all of Plaintiff's other claims under NYSHRL, there was no forbidden act to aid or abet and Defendant...
For the foregoing reasons, Defendants’ (Dkt. 31) Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED with prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully DIRECTED to enter judgment for Defendants and close the case. SO ORDERED.
