Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

Date published: May 1, 1997

239 A.D.2d 105 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

656 N.Y.S.2d 633

Opinion

May 1, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Jane Solomon, J.).

The action was properly dismissed as against the New York City Commission on Human Rights, which cannot be held liable for any injurious consequences resulting from its allegedly negligent investigation and hearing of plaintiff's discrimination complaint ( see, Tango v. Tulevech, 61 N.Y.2d 34). As against the New York City Board of Education, plaintiff's allegations that it failed to provide him and the Commission with his personnel records failed to state a cause of action. We have considered plaintiffs remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
