Adams-Flores v. City of New York · filed 2020-03-02(e)(1)
Under Title VII, a claimant must “file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC within 180 days of the alleged unlawful employment action or, if the claimant has already filed the charge with a state or local equal employment agency, within 300 days of the alleged discriminatory action.” ...

Section 2000e-5(e)(1) provides a 300-day period for filing a Title VII charge; earlier harassment is time barred when it is a separate employment practice rather than part of a continuing violation.
Doe 1 v. City of Chicago · filed 2020-03-11(e)(1)
The limitations period under Title VII is 300 days, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1), and the IHRA limitations period at the relevant time was 180 days, 775 ILCS 5/7A-102(A)(1), (A-1)(1). ... The two-year gap between the 2014 events and the incidents in 2016 and 2017, combined with the intervening actions of the CFD’s prompt investigation and Jane Doe 2’s choice not to pursue the complaint, render the 2014 events a separate employment practice, which is not actionable because it is time barred.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 2000e-5(e)(1)'s filing period bars claims based on discrete acts outside the statutory period; those acts cannot be combined into a continuing violation.
Chieke v. Pennsylvania Department of Cor · filed 2020-07-08(e)(1)
At issue, however, are discrete acts—failure to reclassify, failure to promote, and constructive termination—each ... of which is individually actionable and therefore may not be aggregated to make a “continuing violation.” 2 See O’Connor v. Newark, 440 F.3d 125, 127 (3d Cir. 2006). Accordingly, the District Court properly determined that claims based on actions outside of the statutory periods were time-barred.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 2000e-5(e)(1) bars an untimely act from becoming actionable through a continuing violation theory when it is not related and continuous with later acts.
Jordan v. City of Houston, Texas · filed 2020-06-09(e)(1)
West asks this court to consider as actionable the Department’s administration of the 1994 graduation exam, which is time-barred under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1), as part of her hostile work environment claim through the continuing violation doctrine. However, West makes no effort to demonstrate how the Department’s 1994 actions and the actions of her coworkers thirteen years later were related and continuous, as required under the continuing violation doctrine. See Stewart v. Miss. Transp. Comm’n, 586 F.3d 321, 328 (5th Cir. 2009). Therefore, although we consider it as “relevant background conduct,” the 1994 graduation exam is not actionable.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Because this comment is not based on Plaintiff's sex, it cannot serve as an anchor for the purposes of the continuing violation doctrine for Plaintiff's sexual harassment claim. ...
