Question presented

Is the New York City Human Rights Law subverted and petitioner’s right to recover for workplace discrimination based on national origin unfairly extinguished when he is collaterally estopped from making these claims in state court because a federal court had earlier denied him relief under Title VII even though he raised different claims in State court and the NYCHRL has far broader and more employee-friendly standards for recovery than Title VII?
