[*1]Bonnie Buchwald,	 Index Plaintiff-Appellant,
vSilverman Shin & Byrne PLLC, et al., Defendants-Respondents.


David Abrams, Attorney at Law, New York (David Abrams of counsel), for appellant.
Silverman Shin & Byrne PLLC, New York (Elana Ben-Dov of counsel), for respondents.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Nancy M. Bannon, J.), entered or about July 11, 2016, which granted defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Viewing the record in the light most favorable to plaintiff, no triable issues of fact exist as to whether defendant discriminated against plaintiff based on a perceived disability. Defendant's alleged conduct consists of "petty slights or trivial inconveniences" that do not suffice to support a hostile work environment claim under the New York City Human Rights Law (see Williams v New York City Hous. Auth., 61 AD3d 62, 79-80 [1st Dept 2009]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
ENTERED: APRIL 18, 2017
