Heading: Fraud/Misconduct Claims

Text: Cummings’s “fraud/misconduct” claims fail because she did not plead her claims with particularity as required under Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b), nor did she plead that she relied on any allegedly fraudulent statements. See Evans v. Ottimo, 469 F.3d 278, 283 (2d Cir. 2006). Cummings asserts that she was given a fake schedule for the 2018–2019 school year, but the New York City Department of Education had already decided to terminate her employment. Cummings App’x at A-326–27. She does not allege that she took, or refrained from taking, any action in response to the allegedly fake schedule, so she has not stated a claim for fraud.
