The documentary evidence does not demonstrate conclusively that during the relevant time period defendant CRE Capital LLC employed fewer than four persons and therefore was not *415an employer as defined by the State Human Rights Law (Executive Law § 292 [5]). In particular, while CRE’s quarterly tax form for the fourth quarter of 2008 indicates that three people were employed in each month of the quarter, it lists four employees’ names. Thus, contrary to defendants’ contention, the form does not on its face indicate that CRE employed only three people. It does not reflect that, as defendants explain for the first time on appeal, one employee left during the quarter and was replaced by another person, and there was no overlap in their employment.
