The following excerpt is from Adams v. Festival Fun Parks, LLC, No. 13-1183-cv (2nd Cir. 2014):
Adams's federal and state gender discrimination claims pursuant to the third and fourth claims of the complaint - which do not allege a hostile work environment - fail for similar reasons.3 Among other requirements to establish gender discrimination, a plaintiff must demonstrate that "he suffered an adverse employment action." Sassaman v. Gamache, 566 F.3d 307, 312 (2d Cir. 2009). Because Adams has not raised a material issue of fact as to whether he suffered an adverse employment action, the district court properly granted summary judgment on his non-hostile work environment claims of gender discrimination.
