Background

The judgment concerns defendants’ motion to dismiss Kenneth Hansen’s complaint. The provided text does not include the court’s separate Opinion and Order explaining the underlying dispute or the reasons the claims were dismissed.

Ruling

For the reasons stated in the February 24, 2025 Opinion and Order, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss. The judgment states that this was without prejudice to Hansen refiling his claims under the NYCSL, NYSHRL, and NYCHRL in state court.

The court also declined to give Hansen permission to amend his complaint on its own. It noted that Hansen had not asked for permission to amend or suggested that he had additional facts that could fix the defects in his dismissed claims. The judgment also states that Hansen had previously been warned that he would not receive another opportunity to amend the complaint to address the motion to dismiss.

Disposition and Effect

Judgment was entered in favor of the defendants, and the case was closed. The judgment does not state that the dismissal was with prejudice generally; it specifically preserves Hansen’s ability to refile the identified claims in state court.
