SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 5 – Paul Shargani sued the New York City Department Of Environmental Protection for discrimination and hostile work environment.
On June 3, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein held a proceeding. Inner City Press went and covered it.
Shargani says DEP's Dennis Delaney said "I'm going to make sure that Iranian M.F. doesn't get promoted" and "How does he feel about the Taliban?"
Shargani's lawyer on June 3 said his client is of Jewish descent. Judge Hellerstein asked if he had suffered demotion.
He previous dismissed the portion of the lawsuit alleging retaliation. Now the City says after discovery it envisions moving for summary judgment.
The case is Shargani v. New York City Department Of Environmental Protection et al., 21-cv-337 (Hellerstein)
