Opinion:
SUMMARY ORDER
Plaintiff-Appellant Helen Rogers, pro se, appeals from a judgment entered on December 11, 2012, by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Brodie, J.), which granted summary judgment to Defendants-Appellees Roosevelt Union Free School District, Robert Wayne-Harris, Faith Vaughn-Shavlio, Donald Crummell, Barbara Solomon, Terri McGrath, Yves Monpoint, and Jonathan Finch. Rogers, a former science teacher at Roosevelt Union Free School District's high school, brought claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the New York State Human Rights Law ("NYSHRL"), alleging that she suffered employment discrimination on the basis of her age and disability. Rogers generally alleged that she was retaliated against for her previous discrimination complaint against the school, denied reasonable accommodations for her disability, denied necessary school supplies, left off of a school-wide email distribution list, not given a timely teaching evaluation, and not allowed to teach her preferred classes. She further alleged that the defendants erroneously calculated her absences and health care deductions. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal.
We review a district court's grant of summary judgment de novo, "resolv[ing] all ambiguities and drawing] all permissible factual inferences in favor of the party against whom summary judgment was granted." Gonzalez v. City of Schenectady, 728 F.3d 149, 154 (2d Cir.2013) (quoting Terry v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 128, 137 (2d Cir.2003)) (quotation marks and brackets omitted). "Summary judgment is appropriate if there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Id.; see also Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a).
For substantially the reasons stated by the district court in its thorough opinion entered on December 7, 2012, we find no error in the decision granting summary judgment to the defendants on all claims. As to Rogers's claim for failure to accommodate under the ADA, the district court properly found that for each of her accommodation requests, the school district either provided a reasonable accommodation or there was no nexus between Rogers's request and her disability. As to Rogers's retaliation claim under the ADA, the district court appropriately concluded that Rogers failed to adduce facts that would suggest retaliatory intent or that could establish a constructive discharge or other adverse employment action. Rogers's failure to adduce facts showing an adverse employment action is likewise fatal to her claims under the ADEA and Title VII. As to Rogers's § 1983 claims, the district court properly determined that she failed to adduce evidence that she suffered an adverse employment action or that would raise an inference of discriminatory intent or a hostile working environment. Finally, the district court appropriately declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Rogers's claim under the NYSHRL.
To the extent Rogers independently challenges the district court's denial of the various requests set forth in her "motion for an order to show cause," that challenge is without merit. We review a district court's denial of leave to amend a complaint for abuse of discretion, see Williams v. Citigroup Inc., 659 F.3d 208, 212 (2d Cir.2011), and the district court was well within its discretion to deny leave long after the deadline for amending had passed. The district court also appropriately denied Rogers's request to strike the names of her former attorneys from the docket, her request for an ex parte hearing with the magistrate judge, and her request for the defendants to explain their litigation tactics. Rogers's remaining requests went to the merits of her claims, which the district court fully addressed on summary judgment.
Finally, to the extent Rogers contends that the district court failed to treat her with the proper liberality owed to pro se litigants, that contention is belied by the record. The district court construed Rogers's filings generously, see Burgos v. Hopkins, 14 F.3d 787, 790 (2d Cir.1994), and provided her with adequate notice of the consequences of a summary judgment motion, see Vital v. Interfaith Med. Ctr., 168 F.3d 615, 620-21 (2d Cir.1999).
We have considered Rogers's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
