New York Supreme Court April 13, 2015 (McMillan v. Department of Citywide Administrative Services)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Peter H. Moulton, J.

This case presents a novel issue: May a public agency rationally disqualify an ex-criminal offender from an employment opportunity by ascribing guilt to that individual for a higher offense than the offense for which that individual accepted guilt and was later awarded a certificate of relief from disabilities (CRD)?
