As part of a staff reduction Sullivan—a white, Roman Catholic woman—was transferred from New York City’s Department of Investigation to the city’s housing authority. Her new supervisors allegedly did not provide her needed software, supplies and support, verbally abused her and gave her unjustified negative reviews. The discrimination escalated after Sullivan’s complaints. A heated exchange with a supervisor led to her termination. On Jan. 20, 2012, the New York State Division of Human Rights (DHR) found no probable cause to believe defendants engaged in discrimination. On Feb. 22 the EEOC adopted DHR’s findings and dismissed Sullivan’s federal discrimination charge. Sullivan’s April 2012, federal case sought relief under 42 USC §1983, Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and New York State and City Human Rights Laws. Under DeCintio v. County of Westchester Medical Center, the court—distinguishing Kosakow v. New Rochelle Radiology Associates PC—found defendants entitled to judgment on the pleadings for Sullivan’s §1983 claim. Because DHR had already found defendants did not discriminate against her, Sullivan was precluded from relitigating whether her termination resulted from unlawful discrimination.
