On November 25, 2016, Plaintiff received another confirmation via phone call from Baidya. However, upon checking his email, Plaintiff received a message that his participation in the study had been cancelled. Plaintiff emailed Baidya to clarify he had not cancelled his appointment and remained committed to participating, but was informed by Baidya that he could no longer participate because he was over twenty-five years old, despite never been told of such requirement. Plaintiff emailed Baidya, indicating his intent to file a formal complaint with Dr. Robert Melara, the supervising psychology professor as well as the dean, as he believed he was being discriminated against on the basis of race, national origin, ethnicity, citizenship status, or age. Baidya then replied, saying she would now be able to accommodate Plaintiff and denying at discriminatory intent. \nOn November 27, 2016, Baidya emailed Dr. Melara from a fraudulent email account created to appear as if it belonged to Plaintiff, insulting Dr. Melara with expletives, making explicit threats, and signing the message with Plaintiff’s name. Baidya also sent a similar message from the same fraudulently created email account to her own email, making threats to maim and kill Baidya and signing the message with Plaintiff’s name. \nOn November 28, 2016, Defendant Reina, City College Vice President for Student Affairs, informed Plaintiff by letter that Public Safety had received a report that Plaintiff had threatened to kill Professor Melara and a research associate, and temporarily suspending Plaintiff from City College until a hearing could be scheduled. That same day, Plaintiff was approached by Defendants Morena, Lederhandler, Barry, Laperuta, and Goppy while on the school’s premises, and forcibly escorted to the Public Safety Office where he was unlawfully interrogated, detained, searched, and handcuffed. The defendants restrained Plaintiff by physically grabbing his arms and body, violently contorting his arms behind his back, and handcuffing him with excessive tightness, which caused Plaintiff substantial physical pain. They also confiscated Plaintiff’s cellphone, laptop, and other personal items and never returned them. \nPlaintiff denied ever having sent threatening emails he was accused of or owning the email address such messages were sent from. Plaintiff offered to have defendants search his laptop and cellphone to find any trace of offensive emails, which they refused. Plaintiff was taken to the 26th Precinct where he was subjected to further unauthorized searches and transferred to central booking. On November 29, 2016, Plaintiff’s released from custody after being falsely charged with Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree. \nOn or about November 30, 2016, Plaintiff met with Defendant Rhinehart, Director of Community Standards for City College, who was acting on behalf of the dean, Defendant Thornton, and attempted to coerce Plaintiff to sign various documents accepting a semester suspension. Plaintiff refused and Rhinehart referred the matter to be heard by the Student Faculty Disciplinary Committee on December 9, 2016. The hearing never took place however because defendants confirmed that Plaintiff had not sent the malicious and threatening emails and was innocent of all allegations. Defendants requested Plaintiff be readmitted to classes. On December 7, 2016, Rhinehart messaged Plaintiff, prohibiting him from entering the Psychology Department research area and threatening a second arrest should he fail to comply. Defendants continued to maliciously prosecute Plaintiff in Criminal Court despite confirming his innocence. \nOn March 26, 2017, P.O.s Portillo, Trotter, Suarez, Moreau and Hall approached Plaintiff at his residence and placed him under arrest by physically grabbing Plaintiff and violently contorting his arms behind his back before cuffing him tightly. Plaintiff was taken to the 107th Precinct where the officers unlawfully searched and interrogated him. He was then transferred to central booking, and charged with criminal contempt because defendants City College employees had falsely alleged that Plaintiff had again emailed Baidya and threatened physical harm to her and her family, violating the full order of protected issued in relation to the then pending criminal court proceedings. The criminal charges were dismissed on May 31, 2017, when it was determined that the email in question was sent from Defendant Baidya. On June 26, 2017, all charges against Plaintiff were dismissed by the D.A.’s office.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.538556/gov.uscourts.nysd.538556.51.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/17244974/ndemenoh-v-boudreau/"},{"name":"Wright, Lahmeek vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2013-09-26","disposition_date":"2026-01-22","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Administrative Closing","docket":"502859/2013","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","summary":"On April 13, 2011 at 65 E. 96th St, Brooklyn, NY, Defendants approached Plaintiff with their loaded firearms, outstretched limbs and other objects which they used to physically seize, strike and restrain, and arrest plaintiff.
