Richard Natofsky v. City of New York
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 17-2757 · judgment April 18, 2019
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a Second Circuit decision below, and counsel who has filed here before, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
Question presented
Whether the Americans with Disabilities Act permits employees to proceed under a mixed-motive causation standard before the burden shifts to employers to ultimately prove that a non-disability based reason was the but-for cause of the adverse employment action.
