CompFox AI Summary

Earlier, the court had dismissed his federal FLSA and NYCRR claims but denied summary judgment on the state-law NYLL claims due to factual disputes. Following the dismissal of a related case, Gold v. New York Life, for lack of federal jurisdiction and its subsequent refiling in state court, the District Court re-evaluated its supplemental jurisdiction over Chenensky's remaining state-law claims.
