In Saquib v. Stein DeVisser, Judge Garaufis of the Eastern District granted our motion in a retaliatory termination case brought under Title VII. The court concluded that plaintiff could not demonstrate that he was terminated as a result of his protected class status. The court also found that the conduct by plaintiffâs co-workers was not sufficiently severe so as to demonstrate a hostile work environment. The court also found that the retaliation claim was subject to dismissal on the basis that he was not engaged in protected activity.
An appeal has been taken to the Second Circuit.
