Opinion
February 3, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Williams, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The respondents' determination that the complainant was subjected to unlawful discrimination by the petitioners because of his national origin and marital status is supported by substantial evidence and was, accordingly, properly sustained by the Supreme Court (see, Matter of State Div. of Human Rights v County of Onondaga Sheriff's Dept., 71 N.Y.2d 623; Matter of Pace Coll. v. Commission on Human Rights, 38 N.Y.2d 28). Moreover, the award of compensatory damages of $10,000 to the complainant for the "humiliation, outrage and mental anguish" he suffered is supported by the evidence, which included corroborative testimony of the effects of the discrimination upon the complainant, and is within the range of awards previously approved by this and other courts (see, Matter of New York City Tr. Auth. v. State Div. of Human Rights, 78 N.Y.2d 207; Matter of Consolidated Edison Co. v New York State Div. of Human Rights, 77 N.Y.2d 411; Matter of Lutheran Social Servs. v. State Div. of Human Rights, 142 A.D.2d 950, affd 74 N.Y.2d 824; Matter of Wantagh Union Free School Dist. v. New York State Div. of Human Rights, 122 A.D.2d 846; New York State Dept. of Correctional Servs. v. McCall, 109 A.D.2d 953). Thompson, J.P., Sullivan, Harwood and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
