November 28, 2016	Filing 48 OPINION AND ORDER re: 45 MOTION for Summary Judgment filed by Nata S. Bob; 39 MOTION for Summary Judgment filed by Madison Security Group Inc. In resolving the parties' motions, the Court has been mindful of Plaintiff' ;s pro se status and of the inherent difficulty in mounting discrimination claims that turn on an employer's intent. Precisely for this reason, the Court has excused Plaintiff's non-compliance with Rule 56.1 and construed each of his argume nts as liberally as law and logic will permit. The Court has also considered the difference in standards for claims under Title VII, the NYSHRL, and the NYCHRL. That said, the various iterations of Plaintiff's discrimination claims are wholly de pendent on Plaintiff's testimony, and that testimony is belied by contemporaneous documentary evidence, by Plaintiff's conduct at and statements to his subsequent employer, and, most pointedly, by Plaintiff's own inconsistent sworn sta tements. Considering the record in its totality, the Court is convinced that no reasonable juror could find in Plaintiff's favor. Defendant's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED, and Plaintiff's cross-motion for summary judgment is DENIED. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate all pending motions, adjourn all remaining dates, and close this case. (Signed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla on 11/28/2016) Copies Mailed By Chambers.
