Before: Renwick, A.P.J., González, Kennedy, Higgitt, JJ.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Lyle E. Frank, J.), entered February 24, 2022, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's claims for disability discrimination under the New York State and New York City Human Rights Laws, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Plaintiff's claims were time-barred, as they arose from conduct occurring on or before January 24, 2013, more than one year before the commencement of this action (see Education Law § 3813[2-b]; Campbell v New York City Dept. of Educ., 200 A.D.3d 488, 488 [1st Dept 2021]). Contrary to plaintiff's contention, the continuing violation doctrine does not apply because the complaint does not allege facts comprising "a single continuing pattern of unlawful conduct" but, rather, alleges "discrete events, involving different actors" (Campbell, 200 A.D.3d at 489 [internal quotation marks and citation omitted]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
