EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS UNDER STATE AND CITY HUMAN RIGHTS LAW SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISMISSED AS UNTIMELY.

The First Department determined plaintiff stated causes of action for employment discrimination and retaliation under both the state and city (NYC) Human Rights Law. The court noted that claims after 2011 were time-barred under the state law, but claims going back to 2007 were timely under the city law, which allows otherwise time-barred claims which are part of a continuing course of conduct:

… [P]laintiff’s claims under the New York State HRL for failure to promote after May 23, 2011 are timely and should not have been dismissed, as plaintiff alleged sufficient facts to meet his pleading burden for purposes of this motion to dismiss … . Plaintiff’s claims for failure to promote under the City HRL were also improperly dismissed because plaintiff has adequately alleged “a single continuing pattern of unlawful conduct [starting from his first promotion rejection in 2007] extending into the [limitations] period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint” … , which permits consideration under the City HRL of all actions relevant to that claim, including those that would otherwise be time-barred … . Moreover, while, as plaintiff concedes, the continuing violations doctrine only applies to his claims of failure to promote under the City HRL … , even under the State HRL, he “is not precluded from using the prior acts as background evidence in support of a timely claim'” … . St. Jean Jeudy v City of New York, 2016 NY Slip Op 06045, 1st Dept 9-15-16
