Case: Discrimination/Exhaustion Of Remedies (S.D.N.Y.)

A New York federal district court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over an employee’s remaining New York State Human Rights Law employment discrimination claim against Verizon New York, Inc., dismissing the action without prejudice after previously granting summary judgment on all federal claims, reasoning that comity weighs heavily in favor of dismissal since NYSHRL claims are evaluated under different standards than federal employment discrimination claims and the employee would not be prejudiced by dismissal.
