CompFox AI Summary
Plaintiff, a general utility worker employed by the defendant, was reported to authorities by an instructor for asking suspicious questions about manhole safety. A Joint Terrorist Task Force investigated the concerns but found them unsubstantiated. Plaintiff claims he developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from the incident and alleges discrimination based on his race, national origin, and religion, violating the New York State Human Rights Law and the Administrative Code of the City of New York. The court affirmed the denial of plaintiff's motion to restore certain causes of action, citing a failure to allege disparate impact and protection under the Freedom to Report Terrorism Act. The court also affirmed the denial of plaintiff's motion to amend the complaint for intentional tort and discrimination, noting that while a disability claim for PTSD might state a cause of action for failure to accommodate, it was being pursued in a separate action, rendering the amendment motion academic.
