SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 8 – Michael Barney has
sued H.E.L.P. Homeless Service
Corporation for discriminating
against him as a gay
man.
On December 8 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Katherine Polk Failla held a
conference in the case. Inner
City Press covered it.
HELP's
lawyers were pushing to file a
motion for summary judgment,
saying that Barney could not
claim that "mulling a lawsuit"
was sufficient to now claim
retaliation.
They emphasized
that once Barney stepped out
of work and said he spoke with
his mother, but returned with
grocery bags.
HELP has
been given until February 16
to move for summary judgment,
with Barney's opposition due
on or before March 19.
The case is
Barney v. H.E.L.P. Homeless
Service Corporation,
19-cv-5959 (Failla)
