Velazco v. Columbus Citizens, No. 14-842 (2d Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed suit against defendants, alleging violations of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), 29 U.S.C. 621-634, and the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL), N.Y.C. Admin. Code 8-101 et seq. The district court granted summary judgment to defendants. Although the court affirmed the ADEA portion of the judgment, the court reiterated that district courts who exercise pendant jurisdiction over NYCHRL claims are required by the Local Civil Rights Restoration Act of 2005, N.Y.C. Local L. No. 85, to analyze those claims under a different standard from that applicable to parallel federal and state law claims. In this case, the court vacated the NYCHRL portion of the judgment and remanded to the district court because the district court did not analyze plaintiff's claim separately and independently.
