Plaintiff Cheryl Croci brought an action against the Town of Haverstraw and two individual defendants, George Wargo and Howard Phillips, alleging employment discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation under Title VII, New York State Human Rights Law, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Croci, a personal assistant for the Town's Highway Department, claimed she was terminated after making complaints and filing lawsuits regarding a hostile work environment and sex discrimination. Defendants moved to dismiss all claims. The Court granted the motion to dismiss Croci's due process, First Amendment, and state law claims, citing lack of a protected property interest in continued employment and non-compliance with state notice-of-claim statutes. However, the Court denied the motion to dismiss her Title VII retaliation claim, deeming the personal staff exception argument premature.
