Trovato v. Air Express International

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 13, 1998
254 A.D.2d 349 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

October 13, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Winick, J.).


Ordered that the order and judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiffs were fired for misconduct. They brought this action alleging that they were wrongfully terminated due to false sexual harassment charges which were brought against them. Upon the defendant making out a prima facie case for summary judgment, the trial court granted its motion for that relief, concluding that the plaintiffs failed to present any evidence, other than speculation, to support their allegations. We affirm.

The plaintiffs' conclusory allegations are insufficient to raise an issue of fact sufficient to deny the summary judgment motion ( see, Bracie v. Yeshiva Univ., 88 A.D.2d 823). There is no support for the plaintiffs' contentions that they were fired for discriminatory reasons.

The plaintiffs' remaining contentions are without merit.

Rosenblatt, J. P., Miller, Goldstein and McGinity, JJ., concur.
