Davis v New York City Tr. Auth., 2024 NY Slip Op 06652 [233 AD3d 607]

Appellate Division, First Department

Kevin B. Davis, Appellant,

v

New York City Transit Authority, Respondent.

Kevin B. Davis, appellant pro se.

New York City Transit Authority, Brooklyn (Gabriella Palencia of counsel) for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Naita A. Semaj, J.), entered October 16, 2023, which granted defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (7), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court correctly granted defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint. Even drawing all inferences in favor of plaintiff ( see Held v Kaufman , 91 NY2d 425, 432 [1998]), we do not find any cognizable cause of action in the complaint. For example, although this is an action for harassment and bias, plaintiff does not allege discrimination on the basis of race, gender, or any other category protected by the State or City Human Rights Law. Nor does plaintiff’s response to the motion to dismiss remedy the defects in the complaint ( see Leon v Martinez , 84 NY2d 83, 87-88 [1994]). Concur—Renwick, P.J., González, Rodriguez, Higgitt, Rosado, JJ..
