Plaintiff-appellant Billie Holt, proceeding pro se, appeals from the district court's judgment entered June 28, 2013 dismissing her complaint against defendants-appellees CROSSMARK, Inc. ("Crossmark") and Sam's East, Inc. ("Sam's Club") alleging claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and the New York Human Rights Law for failure to promote, retaliation, and termination of employment because of a disability. By decision and order entered June 27, 2013, the district court granted defendants' motions to dismiss, holding that Holt had failed to exhaust her administrative remedies with respect to her failure to promote and retaliation claims, and that she had failed to state a claim of disability discrimination under the ADA or state law. We assume the parties' familiarity with the facts, procedural history, and issues for review.
We review the district court's dismissal de novo. See Chambers v. Time Warner, Inc., 282 F.3d 147, 152 (2d Cir. 2002). To survive a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), the complaint must plead "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). We are "free to affirm an appealed decision on any ground which finds support in the record, regardless of the ground upon which the trial court relied." McCall v. Pataki, 232 F.3d 321, 323 (2d Cir. 2000) (internal quotation marks omitted). We affirm the dismissal of all three of Holt's claims on the ground that her complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
In the district court, Holt submitted a form complaint and selected "Termination of my employment," "Failure to promote me," and "Retaliation because I complained about discrimination or harassment directed toward me" as her causes of action. In their entirety, Holt's substantive allegations are as follows:
Record on Appeal Doc. 1 ¶ 19. Even "constru[ing] the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff," York v. Ass'n of the Bar of the City of N.Y., 286 F.3d 122, 125 (2d Cir. 2002), we conclude that Holt failed to make sufficient factual allegations in support of her claims. Among other things, Holt failed to allege that she was denied a promotion, that she participated in a protected activity, or that she was fired because of a disability. She did not identify what her disability was, nor did she allege that she suffered from "a physical or mental impairment that substantially limit[ed] one or more major life activities" within the meaning of the ADA. 42 U.S.C. § 12102. Finally, she alleged that her manager "would harass me, as well as the other workers." Record on Appeal Doc. 1 ¶ 19 (emphasis added). The ADA, of course, does not protect against general harassment. Consequently, Holt failed to state a plausible claim for termination of her employment, retaliation, or failure to promote and we affirm the district court's dismissal of the complaint.
We have considered Holt's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, we
