_________________________________

 

Submitted: March 21, 2006 - Decided March 31, 2006

Before Judges Kestin, Lefelt and Seltzer.

On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Civil Part, Warren County, L-168-03.

Mauro, Savo, Camerino & Grant, attorneys for appellant (Charles Z. Schalk, of counsel and on the brief).

Drinker Biddle & Reath, attorneys for respondent (John A. Ridley and James K. Webber, on the brief).

PER CURIAM

Plaintiff, Gregory J. Noone, appeals from the trial court's summary judgment order dismissing his claims for 1) employment discrimination on account of disability in violation of the Law Against Discrimination, N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 to -42; and 2) retaliatory discharge for having filed a workers' compensation petition, in violation of N.J.S.A. 34:15-39.1. Plaintiff also appeals from a denial of his motion for reconsideration.

Judge Coyle expressed his reasons for granting defendant's motion for summary judgment in a comprehensive written opinion filed on the same day as the order, April 8, 2005. The denial of the motion for reconsideration was memorialized in an order entered on May 13, 2005.

We have reviewed the record in the light of the arguments advanced by the parties and prevailing legal standards, and are substantially in agreement with Judge Coyle's decisional rationale.

Accordingly, the orders appealed from are affirmed.
