Brandon Cleveland and Isiah Jackson, both African-Americans, sued Caplaw Enterprises in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York (Siragusa, /.). While they did not charge Caplaw with discrimination, they sought to hold it vicariously liable for the allegedly discriminatory renting of an apartment by Caplaw’s brokers. The district court dismissed the complaint on the pleadings prior to discovery. Because we find that plaintiffs have adequately pled facts that could support a finding of vicarious liability against Caplaw, we vacate and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
