HAWKINS v. CITY UNIVERSITY OF N.Y

In opposition to defendants' demonstration that plaintiff was terminated for the legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason that he threatened his supervisor with violence and engaged in other misconduct, plaintiff failed to raise the inferences that this reason was false and that discrimination based on his disability was the real reason ( see Forrest v Jewish Guild for the Blind, 3 NY3d 295, 305). He submitted no evidence of a causal connection between his misconduct and his disability ( see Riddick v City of New York, 4 AD3d 242, 246).
