Appellant Barbara McCoy, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment dismissing her action brought under, inter alia, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
We review de novo the district court's grant of summary judgment, with the view that "[s]ummary judgment is appropriate only if the moving party shows that there are no genuine issues of material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Miller v. Wolpof & Abramson, L.L.P., 321 F.3d 292, 300 (2d Cir. 2003). We resolve all ambiguities and draw all inferences in favor of the non-movant. Nationwide Life Ins. Co. v. Bankers Leasing Ass'n, 182 F.3d 157, 160 (2d Cir. 1999). Summary judgment is appropriate "[w]here the record taken as a whole could not lead a rational trier of fact to find for the non-moving party." Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986).
Upon de novo review, we conclude that McCoy's claims on appeal that she was dismissed because of her disabilities, that her employer failed to reasonably accommodate her, and that her dismissal was in retaliation for her complaints about her disabilities are without merit, substantially for the reasons stated in the district court's opinion and order.
McCoy's remaining arguments on appeal are also without merit. To the extent she argues that she received ineffective assistance of counsel, such a claim is not cognizable in a civil proceeding. See, e.g., United States v. Coven, 662 F.2d 162, 176 (2d Cir. 1981). Her argument that defendants discriminated against her because she filed complaints with the New York State Division of Human Rights and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was not raised below, and is therefore waived. See Norton v. Sam's Club, 145 F.3d 114, 117 (2d Cir. 1998). Finally, her argument that the district court erred in barring her from seeking relief in state court is at odds with the text of the district court's judgment, which explicitly dismissed without prejudice her state law claims.
We have considered all of McCoy's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.
Accordingly, we
