Service Bureau,

Administration Services,
Defendant-Cross-Defendant-Appellee.

FOR APPELLANT: Kyle Jiggetts, pro se, New York, New York.
FOR APPELLEE: Susan Paulson, Assistant Corporation Counsel,
New York City Law Department, New York, New
York.
Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York (Rakoff, J.; Ellis, M.J.).
UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND
DECREED that the judgment of the district court be AFFIRMED.
Appellant, pro se, appeals from the district court’s order
granting summary judgment to Defendant-Cross-Defendant-Appellee,
and dismissing his discrimination and retaliation claims brought
pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.
§§ 2000e et seq. ("Title VII"); the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et seq. ("ADEA"); and
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 29 U.S.C. §§ 12112
et seq. ("ADA"). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the
facts, proceedings below, and specification of issues on appeal.
We review an order granting summary judgment de novo and ask
whether the district court properly concluded that there were no
genuine issues of material fact and that the moving party was
entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Miller v. Wolpoff &
Abramson, L.L.P., 321 F.3d 292, 300 (2d Cir. 2003). In
determining whether there are genuine issues of material fact, we
are “required to resolve all ambiguities and draw all permissible
factual inferences in favor of the party against whom summary
judgment is sought.” Terry v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 128, 137 (2d
Cir. 2003) (quotation marks omitted). However, “conclusory
2
statements or mere allegations [are] not sufficient to defeat a
summary judgment motion.” Davis v. New York, 316 F.3d 93, 100
(2d Cir. 2002).
Having conducted an independent and de novo review of the
record in light of these principles, we affirm the district
court’s judgment for substantially the same reasons stated by the
magistrate judge in his thorough and well-reasoned report and
recommendation.
We have considered Appellant’s other arguments on appeal
and have found them to be without merit. Accordingly, the
judgment of the district court is hereby AFFIRMED.
FOR THE COURT:
Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
