Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order setting aside the jury verdict in an age discrimination action, holding that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict. The Court applied the three‑part burden framework under Executive Law § 296 and found the plaintiffs failed to show the defendants' legitimate reasons were pretextual.
