Lori Albunio v. City of New York, Appellants Robert Sorrenti v. City of New York

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that the jury’s finding of retaliation against Captain Albunio and Lieutenant Connors was supported by sufficient evidence. The Court construed the term “opposed” in the City Human Rights Law broadly, allowing a finding that Albunio’s expressed disapproval at an October 31 meeting satisfied the retaliation element.
