Case: Discrimination/Hostile Work Environment (N.J. App. Div.)

The New Jersey Appellate Division affirmed summary judgment to the City of Paterson, Manuel Ojeda, and William Rodriguez on sexual harassment, hostile work environment, and retaliation claims under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination brought by a male Department of Public Works night-shift supervisor, finding his claims were time-barred under the two-year statute of limitations and, alternatively, the alleged sexually inappropriate comments were too sporadic and infrequent over a five-year period to constitute severe or pervasive conduct necessary for a hostile work environment claim.
