asserting employment discrimination claims. She alleged that she
was subjected to discrimination on account of her sex and race while working as
a reporter in Defendant's Washington, D.C.
bureau. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In 2018, concluding that she could no longer advance her career in the Washington,
D.C. bureau, she "appl[ied] for
various positions" at Defendant's New York
bureau and expressed interest in an open United Nations reporter position that<span> </span>was ultimately was filled by a man who
allegedly had less practical experience than Plaintiff and less formal
education. After her managing editor in Washington,
D.C. told Plaintiff that Defendant decided
not to convert the U.N. job to a " 'diversity slot,' " she understood
that she would only be considered for promotions to positions identified as
such. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In June 2018, claiming that she was constructively discharged, Plaintiff
informed her team leader and managing editor that she could no longer work for
Defendant because of the discrimination that she had encountered and left Defendant's
employ. Two years later, Plaintiff, then a California
resident, commenced "this class action in New
York State court." </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">She asserted, among other causes of action, individual claims under the State
and City Human Rights Laws, contending that Defendant discriminated against her
on the basis of sex and race by denying her promotions.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Defendant removed the case to federal court and a United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York granted Defendant's motion to
dismiss all of Plaintiff's claims under both Human Rights Laws. Acknowledging that
other cases from the Southern District had reached the opposite conclusion in
analogous circumstances, the Second Circuit reserved decision on Plaintiff's
appeal and certified the following question to the New
York State Court
of Appeals:</span></span></p>
<p class="auto-style1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Whether a nonresident plaintiff not yet employed in New
York City or State satisfies the impact requirement of
the New York City Human Rights Law or the New York State Human Rights Law if
the plaintiff pleads and later proves that an employer deprived the plaintiff
of a New York City- or State-based job opportunity on discriminatory grounds".<span style="color: red;">* </span> </span></span></p><p class="auto-style1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Given the policy implications involved and the lack
of controlling authority, the Second Circuit determined that certification was
appropriate,New York State's Court of Appeals accepted the certified question (<i>see </i>39
NY3d 1061 [2023]), and answered it in the affirmative, noting that the New York
City Council and the New York State Legislature have enacted laws banning
discrimination, including employment discrimination, from within their
geographic boundaries and held "that the New York City
and New York State Human Rights Laws each protect nonresidents who are not yet
employed in the city or state but who proactively sought an actual city- or
state-based job opportunity."</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The State Court of Appeals explained that for the purposes of the impact
test, a failure to hire or promote case is distinct from a discriminatory
termination case. The plaintiff in <i>Hoffman</i><b><span style="color: red;">**</span></b> was not
a New York inhabitant and did not
seek to become one. In contrast, a nonresident who engaged in affirmative
conduct to obtain an actual job opportunity based in New York City or State
sought to become an inhabitant or person within those geographical boundaries "has
satisfied the requirement that the alleged discriminatory act had an impact
within the boundaries of New York City". In the words of the Court of
Appeals, Plaintiff's "rejection from the position denied her the
opportunity to work in New York City," thus providing the necessary New
York City workplace nexus for her claim of a City Human Rights Law covered injury.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Court of Appeals opined that the Second Circuit "recognized that a
ruling for [Defendant] 'would serve to immunize employers from liability' under
the Human Rights Laws 'for discriminatory conduct pertaining to New York City-
or State-based jobs' even when the discriminatory conduct has an impact in New
York (58 F4th at 71). We cannot conclude that the
legislature and city council intended to give New York
employers a license to discriminate against nonresident prospective employees
and, thus, we may not adopt such a narrow construction of the statutes.
Accordingly, the certified question should be answered in the affirmative."</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Opinion by Judge Singas. Chief Judge Wilson and Judges Rivera, Garcia,
Cannataro, Troutman and Halligan concur.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">The board did
not develop realistic budgets. Estimated revenues were underestimated and
appropriated fund balance was not used, resulting in unrestricted fund balance
in the general and highway funds that exceeded the town’s fund balance policy
limit. Actual revenues exceeded estimated revenues by an average of $210,000
(42%) in the general fund and $180,000 (17%) in the highway fund. The board
adopted budgets that planned for using $228,000 of fund balance to offset
projected operating deficits in the general fund. Instead, the general fund
incurred operating surpluses each year for a combined total of $378,991. Therefore,
appropriated fund balance was not used as intended. In addition, unrestricted
fund balance for the general and highway funds exceeded the maximum allowable
limit per the town’s policy ranging from $464,000 to $709,000 in the general
fund and $168,000 to $225,000 in the highway fund.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: none;"> </span></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm9zYy5ueS5nb3YvbG9jYWwtZ292ZXJubWVudC9hdWRpdHMvc2Nob29sLWRpc3RyaWN0LzIwMjQvMDMvMDgvdmFsbGV5LXN0cmVhbS11bmlvbi1mcmVlLXNjaG9vbC1kaXN0cmljdC10aGlydGVlbi1kaXNidXJzZW1lbnRzLTIwMjNtLTE3OD91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkiLCJidWxsZXRpbl9pZCI6IjIwMjQwMzE0LjkxNzg2NzQxIn0.1pILFyyrCLSNcMC2YZatMiy4UgQ7DdF6jZcl9whulOY/s/902060842/br/238817219421-l"><strong><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: none;">Valley Stream Union Free School District Thirteen – Disbursements (Nassau

Although the checks reviewed were disbursed
for what appear to be legitimate district purposes, when the treasurer does not
maintain control of his electronic signature, there is an increased chance of
unauthorized checks being signed. In addition, although the board did not
authorize the treasurer to sign district checks with an electronic signature,
the treasurer used an electronic signature to sign 3,621 non-payroll checks
totaling $26.7 million. The treasurer did not maintain custody or supervise the
use of his electronic signature, and he remotely signed 615 checks totaling
$4.8 million.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: none;"> </span></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm9zYy5ueS5nb3YvbG9jYWwtZ292ZXJubWVudC9hdWRpdHMvc2Nob29sLWRpc3RyaWN0LzIwMjQvMDMvMDgvcm9ja3ZpbGxlLWNlbnRyZS11bmlvbi1mcmVlLXNjaG9vbC1kaXN0cmljdC1pbmZvcm1hdGlvbi10ZWNobm9sb2d5LTIwMjNtP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyNDAzMTQuOTE3ODY3NDEifQ.zSdPiDPHERO-cX4IL9ZUXarG4fLqZYNEQCb2rjroTVQ/s/902060842/br/238817219421-l"><strong><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: none;">Rockville Centre Union Free School District – Information Technology (IT)

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">District
officials did not monitor users’ compliance with the district’s acceptable
Internet use policy (AUP). Of the 37 network users reviewed: Fifteen network
users (41%) accessed websites, such as shopping, entertainment, online gambling
and social media, on district computers although the district’s regulations for
AUP state that personal use is prohibited. As a result, the likelihood that a
user’s Internet browsing exposes the district to malicious software that may
compromise data, confidentiality, integrity or availability is increased.
Fifteen network users (41%) did not have signed forms acknowledging they
received and reviewed the district’s AUP. This diminishes accountability and
the district’s ability to protect district computers and the data contained
therein. Also, six nonstudent network users (22%) did not receive IT security
awareness training. As a result, the risk that users will not understand their
responsibilities and put personal, private and sensitive information on
district computers at greater risk of misuse or loss is increased.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: none;"> </span></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm9zYy5ueS5nb3YvbG9jYWwtZ292ZXJubWVudC9hdWRpdHMvc2Nob29sLWRpc3RyaWN0LzIwMjQvMDMvMDgvY2hpdHRlbmFuZ28tY2VudHJhbC1zY2hvb2wtZGlzdHJpY3QtaW5mb3JtYXRpb24tdGVjaG5vbG9neS0yMDIzbS0xNTU_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5IiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDMxNC45MTc4Njc0MSJ9.ab06d_m1ykq30B8RgX7KlaMeKBeN1dkeEGClNwleSlY/s/902060842/br/238817219421-l"><strong><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: none;">Chittenango Central School District – Information Technology (Madison

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">District
officials did not adequately manage nonstudent network and local user account
access or develop an information technology (IT) contingency plan. As a result,
the district’s IT system and its personal, private and sensitive information
may be accessible to unauthorized users. Officials also have less assurance
that, in the event of a disruption or disaster such as a ransomware attack,
employees and other responsible parties would be able to react quickly and
effectively to help resume, restore, repair and/or rebuild critical IT systems
or data in a timely manner. In addition, auditors determined that 89 (15%) of
the district’s nonstudent network user accounts were no longer needed and
should have been disabled and 11 of 21 local user accounts (52%) reviewed on 12
district computers were no longer needed.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p>
Public Employment Law Presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00315187083544207017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591491714418426610.post-38324146415939290122024-03-14T09:00:00.077-04:002024-03-14T09:00:00.135-04:00 An employer's unilateral termination of a past practice providing employees a benefit held an improper employer practice within the meaning of the Taylor Law<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Supreme Court, among other things, dismissed the CPLR Article
78 filed by Rockland County
[County] to review a determination of the Public Employment Relations Board [PERB] finding
that County had committed an improper employer practice.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">For over a decade the certain employees of the County were allowed to obtain prescription
medications at no cost or copay when prescriptions were filled at a particular pharmacy.
This benefit remained in place even after County switched from being
self-insured to being a participant in the New York State Health Insurance
Program [NYSHIP]. When the pharmacy closed, County rescinded the prescription
drug copayment benefit and the employees commenced having to make
copayments for their prescription drugs.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The employee's Collective Bargaining Representatives [Unions<b><span style="color: red;">*</span></b>] filed
an improper practice complaint with PERB contending that County improperly terminated the benefit
of providing full prescription drug coverage for employees. An Administrative
Law Judge [ALJ] found that a past practice existed with respect to the
prescription drug copayment benefit but<span> </span>agreed with County's contract reversion
defense argument<b><span style="color: red;">**</span></b>
and dismissed the improper practice charges. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Considering the Unions' administrative appeal, PERB reversed the ALJ's ruling in part, agreeing with the ALJ that a past practice existed but rejected the
ALJ's acceptance of the County's contract reversion defense. Accordingly, PERB directed the
employer to reinstate the prescription drug copayment benefit for all eligible employees and the County commenced the instant
CPLR Article 78 proceeding.</span></span></p><p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Addressing the County's contention that "providing employees full
coverage for prescription drugs was not a past practice", the Appellate
Division observed that when reviewing PERB's determination of a past
practice made after a hearing a court must assess whether substantial evidence
supports the determination. <span> </span>In the
words of the Court, "PERB found, and the record confirms, that, since
1989, the subject employees did not pay a copayment for prescription drugs and
that, even though the County switched from being self-insured to utilizing an
insurance plan for employee coverage, this did not change the fact that
employees did not have to pay a copayment" and substantial evidence
supports PERB's determination that a past practice existed.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Citing <i>Kent v Lefkowitz</i>, 27 NY3d 499, the Appellate Division affirmed
PERB's rejection of County's contract reversion defense, explaining "Duty
satisfaction occurs when a specific subject has been negotiated to fruition and
may be established by contractual terms that either expressly or implicitly
demonstrate that the parties had reached accord on that specific subject".<b><span style="color: red;">***</span></b></span></span> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Although the County's interpretation of the collective bargaining agreements
limited its obligations only to the payment of health insurance premiums, PERB
found there is nothing in the collective bargaining agreements that discusses
the issue of copayments for prescription drugs and there is nothing in the
collective bargaining agreements making it reasonably clear that County would
not provide the prescription drug benefit. Noting that PERB had concluded the
collective bargaining agreements did not explicitly refer to the plan
description. and there was no language in the collective bargaining agreements
referring to the plan description so as to identify that plan description
beyond all reasonable doubt, the Appellate Division opined that the County's "reliance
on the doctrine of incorporation is unavailing". Accordingly, the Appellate Division held that PERB is entitled to enforce
its remedial order and Supreme Court correctly granted PERB's counterclaim.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: georgia;">**</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> The Appellate Division noted that
"Under contract reversion, a form of duty satisfaction, if the parties
have reached an agreement on a specific subject following negotiations, a party
can end an inconsistent past practice by reverting to the terms of the
negotiated provisions relative to that subject."</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: red;">***</span></b><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Addressing contract reversion, a
form of duty satisfaction, the Appellate Division said "if the parties
have reached an agreement on a specific subject following negotiations, a party
can end an inconsistent past practice by reverting to the terms of the
negotiated provisions relative to that subject" and its was the County's
burden to show that "the parties have negotiated terms in an agreement
that are reasonably clear on the specific subject at issue".</span></span></p>

Public Employment Law Presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00315187083544207017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591491714418426610.post-55028108446245647682024-03-13T09:00:00.001-04:002024-03-13T09:00:00.150-04:00 State Division of Human Rights' award to a former employee for mental anguish, humiliation and lost wages, plus counsels fees and the imposition of a civil fine on the former employer sustained by the Appellate Division<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The New York State Division of Human Rights [SDHR] found that Petitioners
discriminated against a former employee [Employee] "based upon her
familial status, gender and disability by failing to provide her reasonable
accommodations and concluded that [Employee] was constructively discharged from
her employment." SDHR imposed a civil fine against Petitioners and awarded
Employee monetary damages for mental anguish, humiliation and lost wages. SDHR
also awarded Employee counsel fees. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Petitioners thereafter commenced a number of proceedings pursuant to
Executive Law §298 seeking annulment of SDHR's determination. SDHR and Employee
separately cross-petitioned for, among other things, enforcement of SDHR's
determination. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Here Petitioners challenge SDHR's finding that they
constructively discharged Employee, arguing that Employee never alleged or
proceeded with a theory of constructive discharge and, therefore, their due
process rights were violated because they could not adequately defend against a
claim of which they had no notice. Citing Block v. Ambach, 73 NY2d 323, the
Appellate Division observed that "In the administrative forum, the charges
need only be reasonably specific, in light of all the relevant circumstances,
to apprise the party whose rights are being determined of the charges against
[it] and to allow for the preparation of an adequate defense". </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The court
explained that while "the complaint may not have explicitly alleged that [employee]
was discharged, it did apprise [Petitioners] that they took adverse action
against her in the form of her termination of employment". The complaint also
noted that Petitioner denied Employee an accommodation, and the circumstances
leading to her discharge, whether active or constructive, were explored during
the administrative hearing. The court the opined that Petitioners' "due
process rights were not violated."</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Constructive discharge," said the Appellate Division, "occurs
when the employer, rather than acting directly, deliberately makes an
employee's working conditions so intolerable that the employee is forced into
an involuntary resignation".<b><span style="color: red;">*</span></b></span></span> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In the words of the Appellate Division, "Under certain circumstances,
the denial of an accommodation can support the finding that working conditions
became so intolerable to a reasonable person so as to lead that person to
involuntarily resign ... [c]ourts may not weigh the evidence or reject [SDHR's]
determination where the evidence is conflicting and room for choice exists."
Thus, in view of SDHR's expertise in assessing discrimination claims, "SDHR's
determinations are entitled to deference." </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Turning to the issue of damages, the Appellate Division, noting that SDHR
awarded Employee $20,000 for mental anguish and humiliation and $45,280 in lost
wages, observed that SDHR also imposed a $10,000 civil fine against Petitioners
and awarded Employee counsel fees in the amount of $38,548.62, decided that as
"SDHR's award for mental anguish and humiliation was reasonably related to
the wrongdoing, was supported by substantial evidence and is similar to other
awards, it will not be disturbed" and there is no basis exists to disturb
the civil fine, the award for lost wages or counsel fees.</span></span></p>

discrimination and retaliation claims pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §2000e et seq., 42 U.S.C. §1981 (“Section 1981”), New York State Human Rights Law, N.Y. Executive Law, §290 et seq. (“NYSHRL”), and New York City Human Rights Law, N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 8-107 (“NYCHRL”)
against her employer, her supervisor, and a coworker and officemate
[Defendants].</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">After receiving a
right-to-sue letter, she filed the instant lawsuit on January 17,
2020. The District Court
ultimately granted the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on all of Plaintiff's
claims. Plaintiff appealed the District Court's ruling.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">One the issues addressed
by the Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, concerned the controlling law
in this action.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Upon noting that New York had amended the NYSHRL in October 2019, five
months after Plaintiff’s retaliation claims had accrued, and citing Majewski v.
Broadalbin-Perth Central School District, 91 N.Y.2d 577, the Circuit Court said it would
apply the prior version of the NYSHRL, as it was in effect when Plaintiff’s
claims accrued. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Circuit Court explained “It is a fundamental canon of
statutory construction that retroactive operation is not favored by courts and
statutes will not be given such construction unless the language expressly or
by necessary implication requires it.”</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Circuit Court affirmed
the federal district court's ruling in part, vacated that ruling in part, and
remanded the matter to the federal district court "for further proceedings".</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Click <b><span style="color: red;">HERE</span></b> to access the Circuit Court's

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Department
officials did not ensure that financial activities were properly recorded and
supported. As a result, the ability to make financial decisions was hindered
and officials lacked the information necessary to provide an annual report. The
treasurer did not: accurately record 86 transactions (23%) totaling $33,280 or
provide timely monthly reports to officials for eight of the 13 months in the
audit period; or prepare bank reconciliations. Adequate cash collection
controls were not established and 48 deposits totaling $16,655 were not made in
a timely manner. Auditors found 248 disbursements totaling $81,595 were not
audited and approved before payment, and 111 disbursements totaling $19,650
were made by debit card, circumventing the ability to be audited and approved
before payment.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p>

officials did not always approve, support and monitor overtime. As a result,
overtime expenditures exceeded budgeted overtime by $49,576 during the audit
period and officials increased the risk that employees may have been paid for
unnecessary overtime. Auditors reviewed 169 overtime request forms and the
associated time sheets for five facilities and transportation department
employees who received overtime pay totaling $78,595 and determined that 100
forms lacked the reason officials paid overtime totaling $30,291. In addition,

(Schoharie County)</span></strong></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">The board did
not develop realistic budgets. Budgeted appropriations were overestimated in
the town-wide (TW) general and highway funds, and estimated revenues were
underestimated in the town-outside-village (TOV) highway fund resulting in
operating surpluses totaling $677,000. Actual expenditures were less than
appropriations by an average of $89,000 (15%) and $196,000 (26%) in the TW
general and highway funds, respectively and actual revenues exceeded estimated
revenues by an average of $112,000 (90%) in the TOV highway fund. As a result,
much of the $424,000 of fund balance the board planned to use to fund projected
deficits was not used and unrestricted fund balances increased to levels
between 100% and 179% of the 2023 appropriations. In addition, the town’s
preliminary budgets for the three fiscal years examined did not include fund
balance estimates with a breakdown by fund as required.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">District
officials did not claim state aid totaling $145,164 for nonresident homeless
students during the audit period because the superintendent was not aware that
the district could claim this aid. As a result, district taxpayers will not
benefit from state aid totaling $62,920 because the filing deadlines have
passed. The district may also lose the remaining $82,244 in state aid if
officials do not properly submit claims for reimbursement by </span><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">June 30, 2024</span><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">. District officials did not establish policies

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, Oneida County District
Attorney Todd Carville, and the New York State Police today announced long-time
superintendent of the Utica City School District (UCSD), Bruce Karam, pleaded
guilty to the felony charge of public corruption for using taxpayer funds to
help support a political campaign relating to the 2021 Utica City School Board
election and a non-school related fundraiser. As part of the plea agreement, he
will serve five years of probation, pay restitution of $12,000, complete 250
hours of community service and agreed to a consent order to reduce his pension
benefits.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Karam took vital funds meant to support the education of
students and instead used them to serve his own needs,” DiNapoli said. “As a
consequence of his actions, he is now a convicted felon and has been held
accountable for his crimes. I thank District Attorney Carville and the State
Police for their partnership in rooting out public corruption.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">District Attorney Carville said: “It is imperative that
local leaders understand the responsibility and trust that the public has in
the work they do. Those who chose to abuse that trust are not fit to serve and
will be held accountable.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">New York State Police Acting Superintendent Steven G. James
said: “This case demonstrates the hard work of all our law enforcement partners
who are focused on the same goal – holding those who break our laws
accountable. Mr. Karam violated the public trust by stealing taxpayer money
intended to provide a quality education for students at the Utica
City School District.
I commend the diligent work of our State Police members, our partners at the
State Comptroller’s Office and the Oneida County District Attorney’s Office,
for their hard work in putting an end to this dishonest act.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Karam and a co-defendant, former Utica Mayor and UCSD School
Board President Louis LaPolla, were arrested in November 2023. Comptroller DiNapoli’s Office, the district attorney, and
the State Police determined that Karam was using taxpayer money and school
resources including labor, stamps, envelopes, and other supplies to send
election mailers in support of a school board candidate.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">He was also accused of using school resources to send
invitations for a non-school related fundraiser for a purported charity run by
LaPolla. Fundraiser fliers for the charity were inserted by school district
employees during school hours in envelopes the school district paid for and
were mailed using the district’s stamps.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Karam served as UCSD superintendent from 2011 until he was
put on leave in October 2022. He was fired by the school board shortly after
his arrest.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Karam pleaded guilty in Oneida County Court before Judge Michael
L. Dwyer and is to be sentenced on April 19. LaPolla’s next court date is April
10. The consent order will be filed by the district attorney in Oneida County
Supreme Court.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Since taking office in 2007, DiNapoli has
committed to fighting public corruption and encourages the public to help fight
fraud and abuse. New Yorkers can report allegations of fraud involving taxpayer
money by filing a
complaint online at <a href="https://www.osc.ny.gov/investigations"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">https://www.osc.ny.gov/investigations</span></a>,
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">by calling the toll-free Fraud Hotline at 1-888-672-4555, </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">or by mailing a complaint to: Office of the State Comptroller, Division of Investigations,

§275.8(a)] requires that the petition setting out an appeal to the Commissioner be personally served upon each named
respondent. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In the event a school district is named as a respondent,
service upon the school district is to be made personally by delivering a copy
of the petition to the district clerk, to any trustee or any member of the
board of education, to the superintendent of schools, or to a person in the
office of the superintendent who has been designated by the board of education
to accept service. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In this instance the Petitioner attempted to effectuate service of an appeal to
the Commissioner on the </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">named
respondent</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> by mailing the petition to the New York State Education
Department. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Commissioner ruled that the appeal must be dismissed
for failure to personally serve the only "named respondent", the Board of
Education of the school district.</span></span></p>

[Trustees] rejected Petitioner's application for an accidental disability
retirement [ADR] and approved Petitioner for an ordinary disability retirement
[ODR] retirement benefit by a tie-vote.<span>
</span>Petitioner initiated a CPLR appeal challenging the Fund's decision. The
Appellate Division sustained the Fund's determination, explaining the Petitioner
"has not met her burden of establishing that the disability was causally
connected to a line-of-duty accident".</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The court noted that the denial of Petitioner's application for ADR was the
result of a tie vote. Citing <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.nycourts.gov/reporter/3dseries/2013/2013_03584.htm" target="_blank"><i>Matter Doorley v Kelly</i>, 106 AD3d 554</a></span>, the
Appellate Division observed that a tie vote by the Trustees may only be set
aside on judicial review if the court concludes that the applicant is entitled to
the increased benefits as a matter of law based on the record because "the
disability was the natural and proximate result of a service-related
accident".</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The court further opined that not every line of duty injury will support an
award of ADR, as "an injury which occurs without an unexpected event as
the result of activity undertaken in the performance of ordinary employment
duties, considered in view of the particular employment in question, is not an
accidental injury".</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In the words of the Appellate Division, "for ADR benefits to apply,
there must be a precipitating accidental event, that is, a fortuitous,
unexpected event". Observing that Petitioner testified that she had worked
"in the subject intersection several times before without incident, that
she had previously been made aware of the condition of the road by pedestrian
complaints, and that on the day of her injury, she had been in the intersection
at least 30 minutes before she took a misstep," the court concluded "it
cannot be said that as a matter of law, [Petitioner's] fall was an unexpected
and unforeseeable accident.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Click <b><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.nycourts.gov/reporter/3dseries/2024/2024_01123.htm"><span style="color: red;">HERE</span></a> </span></b>to access the decision of the

Public Employment Law Presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00315187083544207017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591491714418426610.post-75858100180522282592024-03-04T09:00:00.073-05:002024-03-04T09:00:00.164-05:00Applying burden-shifting framework of McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Plaintiff brought this action in federal district court
contending her employee organization [Union] declined to
demand arbitration of her workload grievances relating to the size of the
office space she was required to clean but acted upon a similar grievances advanced
by a coworker who was not Hispanic. Plaintiff charged the Union
with "unlawful discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000 et seq. ('Title VII'); the New York State Human Rights
Law, N.Y. Executive. Law §290 et seq. ('NYSHRL'); and the New
York City Human Rights Law, N.Y.
City Admin. Code §8-101 et seq. ('NYCHRL');
as well as violation of the Union’s duty of fair
representation under the National Labor Relations Act ('NLRA'), 29 U.S.C. §151
et seq."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Upon conclusion of discovery, the Union
moved for, and the district court granted, summary judgment in favor of the Union,
determining that Plaintiff failed to show that the reason's the Union
advanced for declining to file a grievance on behalf of Plaintiff "was
pretextual, arbitrary, or taken in bad faith, or that the [Union's] decision
was otherwise motivated by discrimination."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit [Circuit Court], viewing the federal
district court's granting summary judgment <i>de
novo</i> and viewing the evidence "in the light most favorable to [Plaintiff]
as to 'whether genuine issues of material fact preclude judgment as a matter of
law' ....” Also noting the Union withdrew the
arbitration of the coworker’s grievance in the aftermath of the COVID-19
pandemic, the Circuit Court said "To the extent that [Plaintiff]
challenges the district court’s determination that her
duty-of-fair-representation claims were untimely," the Circuit Court said
it would resolve those claims on the merits as follows:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Addressing Plaintiff's claim of <b><i>Unlawful Discrimination Under
Title VII and NYSHRL</i></b>, the Circuit Court opined Title VII bars a Union
from discriminating against its members because of, <i>inter alia</i>, race or national origin citing 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(c)].
"Under the burden-shifting framework of McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green,
411 U.S. 792," Plaintiff must first establish a <i>prima facie</i> case of Title VII discrimination'by showing that:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">"(1) she is a member of a protected class;</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">"(2) she is qualified for her position;</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">"(3) she suffered an adverse employment action; and</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">"(4) the circumstances give rise to an inference of discrimination."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Once Plaintiff establishes a <i>prima facie</i> case, the burden of going forward shifts to the Union to offer “some legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason” for the
differing treatment. In the event the Union "offers
such a reason for its actions, the burden shifts back to Plaintiff to
demonstrate that the proffered reason was pretextual.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Circuit Court ruled that the Union
had satisfied this requirement.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">C</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">iting see Salamon v. Our Lady of Victory Hosp.,
514 F.3d 217, 226 n.9, </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">the Circuit Court noted that the Second Circuit had recognized that Title VII
and NYSHRL discrimination claims are “analytically identical, applying the same
standard of proof to both claims”, and that "the reasoning in
this section applies to both claims". In this instance, explained the
Circuit Court, no reasonable jury could find, based on the record evidence,
find that the Union’s articulated reasoning was
pretextual or that Plaintiff's race or national origin argument was a motivating
factor in the Union’s decision-making.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Pointing out that Plaintiff had "acknowledged that the
coworker’s floor was the largest in the building, lending support to the
Union’s stated reason (supported by an affidavit from a Union attorney) for
taking only the coworker’s claim to arbitration", while [Paintiff] pointed
to "a troubling incident in which a Union official referred to her in a
text message as a 'stupid Dominican' after a Union election", Plaintiff
did not indicate how that statement was connected to the Union’s
arbitration decisions.<b><span style="color: red;">*</span></b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Further, the Circuit Court held that "the coworker was
not an adequate comparator" because of the relative sizes of their
respective assigned cleaning areas.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Accordingly, the Circuit Court held that "the district court
did not err in granting summary judgment to the Union
under both Title VII and NYSHRL.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Turning to Plaintiff's "<b><i>Unlawful Discrimination Under
NYCHRL</i></b>" claim, the Circuit Court said that the Second Circuit has
"recognized that courts must analyze NYCHRL discrimination claims 'separately
and independently from any federal and state law claims'.” In the words of the
Circuit Court, summary judgment may be appropriate under the NYCHRL “if no
reasonable jury could conclude either that the defendant’s reasons were
pretextual, or that the defendant’s stated reasons were not its sole basis for
taking action, and that its conduct was based at least in part on discrimination.”</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Focusing on Plaintiff's <b><i>Fair Representation Under the
NLRA</i></b> argument, </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">citing </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Fowlkes v. Ironworkers Local 40, 790 F.3d 378, 387
(2d Cir. 2015) (quoting Vaca v. Sipes, 386 U.S.
171, 177 (1967), </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">the Circuit Court opined that "the duty of fair
representation is a 'statutory obligation,'" demanding that a union “serve
the interests of all members without hostility or discrimination ... to
exercise its discretion with complete good faith and honesty, and to avoid
arbitrary conduct"</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The duty of fair representation, said the Circuit Court, is breached
where a union’s actions “with respect to a member are arbitrary, discriminatory,
or taken in bad faith.”</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Finding that the Union "offered a clear explanation for
why its decision was neither arbitrary nor taken in bad faith", the
Circuit Court observed that Plaintiff rejected the Union’s
stated reasoning, but "offered no evidence supporting her assertion that
the Union pursues fewer arbitration grievances raised by
Hispanic workers than it does for non-Hispanic workers."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Opining that a reasonable jury could conclude that the Union’s
decision was not arbitrary, irrational, or taken in bad faith, the Circuit Court affirmed the
district court ruling, holding that the lower court "did not err in granting [the Union's motion for] summary judgment".</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: georgia;">*</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Plaintiff, in her deposition,
"did not assert that she thought that the [Union's] arbitration decision was
connected to the Union election".</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Click <b><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://ww3.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isysquery/49fa87e4-2902-4d7f-9c59-b9dd76f1b62d/2/doc/22-2753_so.pdf#xml=https://ww3.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isysquery/49fa87e4-2902-4d7f-9c59-b9dd76f1b62d/2/hilite/"><span style="color: red;">HERE</span></a></span></b> to access the Circuit Court's

Law Judge Orlando Rodriguez recommended termination of employment for a patient
care associate [Respondent] who had been continuously absent without approval since February 17, 2022.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">There was no dispute that Respondent's absences were due to her disability and
that she could no longer perform her work duties. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The ALJ rejected Respondent’s argument that the Employer’s pursuit of
disciplinary action violated the City’s Human Rights Law, finding that such
violation may only be found where the employee has been able to demonstrate
rehabilitation at the time of disciplinary action. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Judge Rodriguez also rejected Respondent’s argument that the
proceeding should be converted to a proceeding under §72 of the Civil Service
Law</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">.<b><span style="color: red;">* </span></b></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The ALJ said "it is well-settled that a government agency may choose to bring
disciplinary charges for time-and-leave violations rather than a disability
proceeding, even when the misconduct is caused by a disability".</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Finding that Respondent has been continuously absent without authorization,
the ALJ recommended that the Respondent be terminated from her position. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b><span style="color: red;">*</span></b> NYPPL notes Respondent did not
dispute that she has not returned to work since February 17, 2022 and claims she can no longer perform the
duties of her position because of "injuries she sustained in a car
accident nine years ago, which have worsened over time". </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Section 73 of the
Civil Service Law provides for the removal of a tenured employee in the
classified service placed on leave pursuant to </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">§72 </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">of the Civil Service Law if he or she has been continuously absent from work for one
year or more because of a non-work related injury or illness. Termination
pursuant to </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">§</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">73 is at the discretion of the appointing authority. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Termination following a cumulative period absence of one year or more due to a
work-connected injury or illness is controlled by §71 of the Civil Service Law.
Again, termination of an individual placed on a </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">§71 leave of absence is at the
discretion of the appointing authority. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: georgia;"><b>N.B.</b></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> §71 provides "</span><span style="font-family: georgia;">where an employee has been separated from the service by reason of a disability resulting from an assault sustained in the course of his or her employment, he or she shall be entitled to a leave of absence for at least two years".</span></span></p>

1075</a>, the Appellate Division noted "Workers' Compensation Law §114-a
(1) provides, in relevant part, that a claimant who, for the purpose of
obtaining workers' compensation benefits or influencing any determination
relative thereto, knowingly makes a false statement or representation as to a
material fact shall be disqualified from receiving any compensation directly
attributable to such false statement or representation. Further,
noted the court, "Whether a claimant has violated the statute lies within
the province of the Board," which is the sole arbiter of witness credibility,
and its decision will not be disturbed if supported by substantial evidence. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In the instant matter, although Claimant told the examining physician that he
retired in 2014, Claimant testified that he has continued to work in a family
flooring business and that he had another job conducting movie audits. Although
Claimant testified that he does not have full range of motion with his left
knee, which he stated does not bend regularly, surveillance videos did not
confirm any physical limitations. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">While Claimant testified that he gave his
best efforts during an independent medical examination and that he has
"good days and bad days," Claimant's testimony regarding whether he
was truthful about his physical condition presented "a credibility issue
for the Board to resolve." In the words of the Appellate Division,
"[Claimant] was also required throughout the underlying proceedings to
provide truthful and accurate information regarding his work activities and
side jobs." <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The court then found that substantial evidence supported the Board's
determination that "[Claimant] violated Workers' Compensation Law §114-a" as well as Claimant's material omissions supported the Board's imposing "a mandatory penalty."</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Appellate Division also sustained the Board's disqualification of Claimant
from receiving future wage replacement benefits, noting "the Board is
vested with the authority — as an exercise of its discretion — to disqualify a
claimant from receiving any future benefits" in addition to imposing the
mandatory penalty, i.e., rescinding the workers' compensation benefits already
paid a claimant. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The court opined "The imposition of such discretionary
penalty typically is reserved for situations where the underlying deception has
been deemed egregious or severe, or there was a lack of mitigating
circumstances", citing <i>Matter of Koratzanis v U.S. Concrete, Inc.</i>,
209 AD3d at 1077.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Pointing out that "Judicial review of the penalty imposed is limited to
whether the penalty constitutes an abuse of discretion as a matter of law and,
as such, a penalty must be upheld unless it is so disproportionate to the
offense as to be shocking to one's sense of fairness, thus constituting an
abuse of discretion as a matter of law".</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In this instance the Appellate
Division found "the record supports the Board's finding that [Applicant's]
misrepresentations were egregious and severe enough to warrant disqualification" and that the court could not conclude that the penalty imposed by the Board was disproportionate to Claimant's material
misrepresentations.</span></span></p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">On February 26, 2024, New
York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L.
Bragg Jr. announced the guilty plea of Cindy Tappe for orchestrating an
approximately $3.5 million 6-year fraud relating to two New York University [NYU] programs. Tappe used her position as the Director of Finance and Administration
for NYU’s Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and Transformation of Schools [the “Metro Center”] to divert approximately $3.5 million intended for minority and
women owned businesses. She ultimately routed $3.3 million to bank accounts
held by two shell companies Tappe created, using some of the funds for NYU
payments and employee reimbursements, but keeping more than $660,000 to pay for
personal expenses, including renovations to her home in Connecticut and an $80,000 swimming pool.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Tappe pleaded guilty to
one count of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree. Under the terms of the plea, Tappe
will be sentenced to five years’ probation, sign a written waiver of right to
appeal, and provide full restitution in the amount of $663,209.07 in advance of
sentencing. She will be sentenced on April 16, 2024.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Cindy Tappe shamelessly
used her high-ranking position at NYU to steal more than $660,000 in state
funds,” New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli said. “Her actions
cheated MWBEs out of critical funding opportunities and deprived student
programs of key resources meant to aid children with special needs and young
English Language learners. I thank District Attorney Bragg for his partnership
in uncovering her wrongdoing and for holding her accountable.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Cindy Tappe took
advantage of her position as the NYU Director of Finance and Administration by
diverting funds that were intended to benefit students for her own personal
gain. Her fraudulent actions not only threatened to affect the quality of
education for students with disabilities and multilingual students, but denied
our city’s minority and women owned business enterprises a chance to fairly
compete for funding,” said District Attorney Bragg. “In Manhattan, we will continue to root out fraud committed at
the expense of our students and businesses. I thank the New York State
Comptroller’s Office for its partnership in this investigation.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">According to court
documents, statements made on the record in court, and as admitted in the
defendant’s guilty plea, between 2011 and 2018, the New York State Education
Department awarded NYU $23 million for the Metro Center to administer two New York State programs:</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1. The Regional Bilingual
Education Resource Network (“RBE-RN”), which helps school districts improve
results for English language learners, and</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">2. The Technical
Assistance Center on Disproportionality (“TAC-D”), which addresses
disproportionality in special education.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The RBE-RN and TAC-D
agreements required that a certain percentage of subcontractors on
grant-related projects be awarded to certified minority and women owned
business enterprises (“MWBE”), in accordance with state law.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Between February 2012 and
December 2018, Tappe was the Director of Finance and Administration for Metro Center. Tappe arranged for three certified MWBE subcontractors to receive
the overwhelming majority of MWBE payments. In total, NYU paid the three
companies approximately $3.527 million to provide services related to the
grants. To justify the payments, the companies submitted fictitious invoices
drafted by Tappe and pasted on their letterhead.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">None of the companies
performed work on the contracts. Instead, they functioned as pass-throughs,
taking between 3% and 6% of the invoice amounts as “overhead,” and sending the
remainder of $3.352 million to two fictitious shell companies created by Tappe: High Galaxy Inc. [High
Galaxy], and PCM Group Inc.[PCM].</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">A portion of the funds
were then used to pay legitimate grant-related expenses, and to reimburse NYU
employees for expenses incurred or services rendered without any NYU oversight.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Moreover, Tappe used the
High Galaxy and PCM accounts to steal at least $660,000, by using that money to
pay her personal expenses. She used the accounts to pay for home renovations –
including a new $80,000 swimming pool – and her ordinary living expenses.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In September 2018, an NYU
program director confronted Tappe about the payments being made to the MWBE
subcontractors. In response, she emailed the head of the RBE-RN and TAC-D
programs explaining the role those companies played – without mentioning High
Galaxy, PCM, or her relationship with the MWBE subcontractors. Instead, she
falsely stated that NYU had “developed good working relationships with these companies,”
and that she had “found no other companies that offer the same suite of
services for price.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Soon thereafter, NYU
reported the theft to the New York State Department of Education, which relayed
the allegations to the Comptroller’s Office. After conducting an investigation,
the Comptroller’s Division of Investigations referred the case to the Manhattan
D.A.’s Office for prosecution.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Assistant D.A.s Adam Maltz
and Jaime Hickey-Mendoza are handling the prosecution of this case under the
supervision of Assistant D.A.s Michael Ohm (Deputy Chief of the Rackets
Bureau), Judy Salwen (Principal Deputy Chief of the Rackets Bureau), and Jodie
Kane (Chief of the Rackets Bureau and Acting Chief of the Investigation
Division). Former Assistant D.A. Gilda Mariani, Trial Preparation Assistant
Shriya Shinde, and Rackets Investigator David Caban assisted with the
investigation.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Comptroller DiNapoli’s
Division of Investigations conducted the investigation for the Office for the
State Comptroller.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In this action to recover damages for an alleged breach of contract,<i> inter alia</i>,<b><span style="color: red;">*</span></b> the defendant, [University],
appealed from an order of the Supreme Court denying University's CPLR §7503 motion
to compel arbitration of the issue in contention and to stay the breach of
contract action.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">University had employed Plaintiff as a full-time faculty member. It
subsequently sent Plaintiff a letter offering him an "administrative
appointment," during which time Plaintiff was to be "on a leave of
absence from (his) tenured faculty position" with "the right to
return to (his) faculty position." University terminated Plaintiff from
his administrative position but did not reinstate him in his "tenured
faculty position".</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Plaintiff then commenced the instant action, alleging, <i>inter alia</i>, that University breached the terms of the "offer
letter" by refusing to reinstate him as a faculty member. University,
pursuant to CPLR 7503, then moved to compel that the matter then pending before Supreme
Court be submitted arbitration and to stay the instant action. University
contended that its collective bargaining agreement [CBA] with the union
representing the University's "regular full-time faculty members" required Plaintiff's issue be submitted to arbitration. Supreme Court disagreed and denied
University's motion, whereupon University appealed.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Citing Lundgren v Kaufman Astoria
Studios, 261 AD2d 513, the Appellate Division noted that "Generally,
where a collective bargaining agreement containing a grievance and arbitration
procedure ... a covered employee may not sue his or her employer directly for
breach of the agreement, but must proceed through the union in accordance with
the contract." <span> </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Here, however, the Appellate Division opined that "University failed to
submit evidence that at the time [Plaintiff's] <span> </span>employment was terminated [Plaintiff] was a
covered employee under the CBA", noting the CBA excluded administrators from
being within the ambit of the otherwise relevant provisions of the CBA.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In the words of the Appellate Division, "contrary to the University's
contention, the grievance provisions of the CBA, which exclude
"substantive matters of appointment, reappointment, promotion, and
assignment," do not evince a clear, explicit, and unequivocal agreement to
arbitrate all disputes requiring the interpretation of the terms of the CBA."
Thus, opined the Appellate Division, "Supreme Court properly denied the
University's motion to compel arbitration and to stay the action", citing <i>Wolf
v Hollis Operating Co., LLC</i>, 211 AD3d at 771.</span></span></p>

State Cybersecurity Grant Plan, which details a whole-of-state approach to
reduce cyber risk and build cyber resiliency in local governments statewide.
Through the utilization of nearly $6 million in funding through the federal
State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program, this grant program will expand
access to cybersecurity information, tools, resources, and services so that
public sector entities in New York have access to the most sophisticated cyber
defenses. Given the funding available, </span></span><span class="defaultparagraphfont"><span style="color: black;">New

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hgkelc" style="font-family: georgia;"><span lang="EN">Governmental immunity, </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;">sometimes
referred to as <em>sovereign immunity, </em><em><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">is based on the theory that "government"</span>
</em><span class="hgkelc"><span lang="EN">is an entity
immune from being held responsible for its actions or inactions that cause
harm, provided the harm was caused while the entity, or its agent, was
performing its governmental functions.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In this action presented to the Court of Claims Claimant alleged that he was erroneously listed on New
York State's public sex offender registry website after his
cousin assumed his name and birth date when registering as a sex offender.<span style="color: red;"><b>*</b></span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Claimant asked <span> </span>the Court of Claims of
the State of New York grant his
motion for summary judgment to resolve the issue but his motion was denied. In
contrast the State's motion for summary judgment dismissing
Claimant's action was granted by the Court of Claims. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Claimant appealed but the Appellate Division unanimously affirmed the Court
of Claims' rulings. The court opined that Claimant's defamation claim was
properly dismissed as barred by "governmental function immunity". </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In the words of the Appellate Division: </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Claimant's defamation claim
was properly dismissed as barred by governmental function immunity (see
generally McLean v City of NY, 12 NY3d
194, 199 [2009]). Even if the alleged misconduct was ministerial and not discretionary
in nature, [Claimant] has failed to show a special duty (see id. at 199,
202-203; <a href="https://www.nycourts.gov/reporter/3dseries/2015/2015_00300.htm" target="_blank">Hephzibah v City of New York, 124 AD3d 442</a>, 443 [1st
Dept 2015], lv denied
26 NY3d 903 [2015]). Correction Law §168-r(1) does not create a private right
of action on behalf of [Claimant] because he is not within the class of persons
it is intended to protect. Indeed, [Claimant] admits that the misconduct at
issue did not reflect any discretionary decision-making, which is the subject
of the immunity waiver at Correction Law §168-r(1)."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: red;"><b>*</b></span>
Although the error was corrected, Claimant's name continues to be listed as an
alias of his cousin. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></p>
