A discrimination claim under the New York City Human Rights Law.

The claim is dismissed, as the alleged conduct amounts to no more than petty slights and trivial inconveniences, which are not actionable. The alleged stray remark that plaintiff was "old enough to retire" does not, without more, give rise to an inference of ageist bias, Plaintiff's bare allegations that younger officers who had committed misconduct did not receive unfavorable assignments are too general to support an inference of age discrimination.
