Hart v. New York University Hospital Center
Hart v. New York University Hospital Center
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
UPON DUE CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.
Plaintiff-appellant William Hart, Jr., proceeding pro se, brings this employment-discrimination suit against defendant-appellee New York University Hospital Center (“the Hospital”), alleging, inter alia, that the Hospital terminated his employment because of his African-American race, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.
DISCUSSION
We review an award of summary judgment de novo, “construing the evidence in
Having reviewed the record de novo, we conclude that Hart’s appeal is without merit, substantially for the reasons stated by the District Court in its well-reasoned order. Hart has failed to present sufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to conclude that racial discrimination motivated the Hospital’s termination of his employment. Hart also has not presented sufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to conclude that he satisfied, or could satisfy, his burden of demonstrating that the asserted race-neutral bases for the Hospital’s actions were pretextual.
CONCLUSION
We have considered all of Hart’s arguments on appeal and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, for the reasons stated above, we AFFIRM the judgment of the District Court.
. On appeal, Hart does not contest the District Court's earlier decisions with respect to any of the other claims alleged in his complaint. Accordingly, those claims are deemed abandoned. See, e.g., Fabrikant v. French, 691 F.3d 193, 202 n. 8 (2d Cir. 2012).
