NEW YORK CITY HEALTH AND HOSPITALS CORPORATION, COLER GOLDWATER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Defendants-Appellees.

Helen E. Simmons, pro se Appearing for Plaintiff-Appellant:

Elmhurst, NY Appearing for Defendant-Appellee: Elizabeth I. Freedman, Assistant Corporation Counsel, City of New York (Michael D. Hess, Corporation Counsel, on the brief)

New York, NY Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (I. Leo Glasser, Judge).

AFTER ARGUMENT AND UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court is hereby AFFIRMED.

Plaintiff-Appellant Helen E. Simmons appeals from a decision of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (I. Leo Glasser, Judge) granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants-Appellees New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation and Coler and Goldwater Hospitals. Ms. Simmons alleges that the defendants discriminated and retaliated against her based on race and age in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. ' 2000e et seq., the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. ' 621 et seq., the New York State Human Rights Law, New York Executive Law ' 290 et seq., and the New York City Human Rights Law, New York City Administrative Code ' 8-101, et seq.

We review orders granting summary judgment de novo and focus on whether the district court properly concluded that there was no genuine issue as to any material fact and the moving party was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Allstate Ins. Co. v. Mazzola, 175 F.3d 255, 258 (2d Cir. 1999). We have considered all of Simmons=s contentions in this appeal and substantially for the reasons stated in the ruling of the District Court, Simmons v. New York City Health and Hosp.

Corp., Coler and Goldwater Mem=l Hosp., No. 99-CV-3181, 2001 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 4640, *1

(E.D.N.Y. Mar. 30, 2001), we find her arguments to be without merit.

Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.

FOR THE COURT:

ROSEANN B. MACKECHNIE, CLERK BY DATE
