The following excerpt is from Pena-Barrero v. City of N.Y., No. 17-1286 (2nd Cir. 2018):
Corp., 248 F.3d 87, 95 (2d Cir. 2001) (emphasis added). Accordingly, Pena-Barrero cannot show "a causal connection between the protected activity and the adverse employment action," McMenemy v. City of Rochester, 241 F.3d 279, 282-83 (2d Cir. 2001), nor that he was terminated "as a result" of having taken "an action opposing [his] employer's discrimination," Mihalik, 715 F.3d at 112.2
