Bellamy v. Columbia Univ

In Bellamy v. Columbia Univ., 50 AD3d 160 (1st Dept. 2008), there was no special employment relationship since there was "no evidence affirmatively establishing that the defendant did in fact supervise the plaintiff as it would have supervised an employee." Rather, the proffered evidence showed that the plaintiff kitchen worker "was left essentially unsupervised as he went about his task in the defendant's kitchen" and he testified without contradiction that "no one from Columbia told him how to do his job or supervised him."
