42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5

Section 2000e-5 requires a Title VII plaintiff to exhaust an EEOC charge before suing; an agency acceptance letter alone does not establish that a claim falls outside the charge.

Merriweather v. Kijakazi · filed 2022-09-30(b),(f)

Defendant does not include a copy of the EEOC charge or any of the documents relating to the subsequent investigation. Therefore, the court is unable to discern whether plaintiff’s failure to promote/non-selection claim exceeds the scope of the EEOC charge and/or would have arisen out of an investigation into that charge.

A Title VII claim is administratively exhausted when it is reasonably related to a timely agency charge, even if the charge does not identify that claim as a basis for discrimination.

Accordingly, I find that the plaintiff’s Title VII gender claim is reasonably related to the underlying administrative complaints, and considered exhausted for purposes of this action.

Section 2000e-5 requires exhaustion of administrative remedies before a Title VII or Title I ADA discrimination suit; the court treated a right-to-sue letter or 180 days after an EEOC complaint as satisfying that requirement.

OLIVER v. ERIE COUNTY · filed 2022-09-30(f)(1)

Nevertheless, Oliver’s discrimination claims fail as a matter of law because she has not exhausted her administrative remedies before filing suit, as required. Churchill v. Star Enters., 183 F.3d 184, 190 (3d Cir. 1999) (“[A] party who brings an employment discrimination claim under Title I of the ADA must follow the administrative procedures set forth in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e–5.”). ... Rather than exhausting her administrative remedies by obtaining a right to sue letter or waiting 180 days from the date of her EEOC complaint, she filed suit in this Court on June 30, 2021. She therefore failed to exhaust her administrative remedies as a matter of law.

Section 2000e-5(f) requires a Title VII plaintiff to present a claim to the EEOC before suing; a transfer claim raised in the formal EEO charge satisfies that requirement.

Jackson v. DeJoy · filed 2022-10-11(f)

To be sure, Title VII and the ADEA require all claims to be first brought before the EEOC as a precondition to suit. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f); Fort Bend Cnty., Tex. v. Davis, 139 S. Ct. 1843, 1846-47 (2019). ... Jackson’s discrimination claim concerning her transfer was indeed preserved. ... The motion to dismiss on exhaustion grounds is denied.

Section 2000e-5(e) requires a Title VII plaintiff to file an EEOC charge before suing; failure to exhaust is an affirmative defense.

Bruton-Barrett v. Gilead Sciences, Inc. · filed 2022-11-14(e)

“Prior to filing a Title VII suit, a plaintiff must exhaust his [or her] administrative remedies by filing an EEOC charge outlining his [or her] allegations.” Duberry v. Inter-Con Sec. Sys., Inc., 898 F. Supp. 2d 294, 298 (D.D.C. 2012) (citing 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)). ... Accordingly, without reaching the merits of the defendant’s affirmative defense, the Court concludes that the plaintiff has “conceded [the] argument[] raised by [the] defendant’s Rule 12(b)(6) motion” as to the exhaustion of administrative remedies because “the plaintiff is represented by counsel” and the defendant’s arguments “are not addressed in [the] plaintiff’s opposition.”

Section 2000e-5 requires a Title VII plaintiff to file an EEOC charge before suing; a race discrimination claim identified in the charge is exhausted.

POWELL v. ADVANCING OPPORTUNITIES · filed 2022-11-16(e)(1)

As a threshold matter, however, the ADA and Title VII require a plaintiff bringing an action against an employer for discrimination to first file an action with the EEOC within 180 days of the alleged conduct. ... Here, the Amended Complaint contains no allegations that Plaintiff exhausted her administrative remedies, nor does Plaintiff provide any such representations in opposition to Advancing Opportunities’ motion to dismiss.

A Title VII plaintiff may bring color discrimination claims after filing an EEOC charge alleging race discrimination when a reasonable investigation of the charge would cover both.

Beard v. Walmart · filed 2022-11-29(f)(1)

Qiu v. Anderson County High School · filed 2022-12-12(e), (f)

The new allegations are not reasonably related to the allegation in the EEOC charge, so Ms. Qiu failed to exhaust her administrative remedies on those claims and they would not survive a motion to dismiss.

The ADA requires that a plaintiff must first exhaust her administrative remedies before filing suit in federal court. Sydnor v. Fairfax Cnty., Va., 681 F.3d 591, 593 (4th Cir. 2012) (citing 42 U.S.C. § 2000e–5(b)). ...

Section 2000e-5 requires a Title VII plaintiff to plead administrative exhaustion, including receipt of a right-to-sue letter, in the complaint.

Jackson v. Chick and Seafood Inc · filed 2022-12-12(f)(1)

If the EEOC dismisses this charge, it must “notify the person aggrieved and within ninety days after the giving of such notice a civil action may be brought against the respondent named in the charge.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1). ... But stating this fact in her response is not sufficient; Jackson must plead the facts related to administrative exhaustion, including the receipt of a right to sue letter, in her complaint.

An EEOC charge alleging unequal terms and conditions of employment can exhaust a pay inequity claim because an investigation of those terms would include compensation.

Evans v. Valley Electric Association, Inc. · filed 2023-01-13(e)(1)

An EEOC investigation into “terms and conditions” of employment would necessarily include an investigation into compensation because compensation is perhaps the most important “term” or “condition” of an employment relationship. Because unequal terms and conditions of employment encompasses pay disparity, Evans exhausted her pay inequity claims.

An EEOC right-to-sue notice can defeat dismissal of a Title VII claim for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

Saliba v. American Airlines Incorporated · filed 2023-01-30(b)

Ga. Dep’t of Human Res., 355 F.3d 1277, 1279 (11th Cir. 2004) (per curiam). ... Focusing on the scope of the Complaint, the Court finds that Plaintiff either 1) abandoned her claim for color discrimination when she filed a judicial complaint for race discrimination or 2) failed to exhaust her administrative remedies because a claim for racial discrimination could not reasonably be expected to grow out of the charge for color discrimination in this case.

A Title VII plaintiff must file an EEOC charge within 300 days of the alleged conduct and receive a right-to-sue letter before filing suit.

Shaw v. University of Maryland, College Park · filed 2023-02-03(f)(1)

Before filing suit under Title VII, a litigant must file a Charge with the EEOC within 300 days of the alleged conduct and receive a Right to Sue letter. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1); ...

Section 2000e-5(b)’s administrative charge process gives employers notice and an opportunity to investigate and resolve alleged discrimination; a later claim must fall within the investigation reasonably expected from the charge.

Ortiz v. Baltimore City Maryland Baltimore Police Depatment · filed 2023-02-07(b)

The purpose of the administrative charge is to give the employer notice and opportunity to voluntarily and independently investigate and resolve the alleged discrimination. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(b); Hill, 672 F.2d at 390 n.6. Here, BPD’s administrative investigation into Plaintiff’s retaliation claim could not reasonably have been expected to look into race, national origin, or gender discrimination.

As a prerequisite to bringing claims under Title VII, a claimant must first exhaust their administrative remedies by filing an administrative charge with the EEOC. ...

Rhoads v. Althom Inc. · filed 2023-03-20(e)(1)

In this context, to pursue a federal discrimination claim under either Title VII or the ADA, an employee must first “file a ‘charge’ with the EEOC within 300 days of the alleged unlawful employment practice, or within 30 days after receiving notice that the analogous state agency has terminated proceedings, whichever is earlier.” See Williams v. Pa. Hum. Rels. Comm’n, 870 F.3d 294, 298 & nn. 16-17 (3d Cir. 2017) (citing 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-5(e)(1), 12117(a)). Here, Plaintiff’s EEOC record reflects that she filed a discrimination charge with the EEOC in May 2020 relating to the conduct alleged in her complaint. (Doc. No. 24-2 at 13.) Accordingly, the Court rejects Defendants’ argument that Plaintiff failed to exhaust her EEOC administrative remedies.

Stilwell, Jr. v. Caesars Entertainment · filed 2023-03-24(e)(1)

An individual seeking to challenge an unlawful employment practice under Title VII must file a charge with the EEOC within 180 days “after the alleged unlawful employment practice occurred.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e–5(e)(1). ... Because Feloni is plainly challenging a discrete act — i.e., her termination from ICE — the “continuing violations doctrine” that she invokes is of no help.

Section 2000e-5 requires a Title VII claimant to file an administrative charge before seeking relief; a charge alleging race and national origin discrimination without allegations about skin tone does not exhaust a color discrimination claim.

To seek relief under Title VII, a plaintiff must first exhaust any administrative remedy available under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5 by filing a charge of discrimination with the EEOC or appropriate state agency. ...

Davis v. City of Springfield · filed 2023-08-02(f)

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Winns’s race and age-based discrimination and harassment claims under Title VII, the ADEA, and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”), Cal. Gov’t Code § 12940 et seq., because Winns did not raise these issues in his Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charge and therefore failed to exhaust administrative remedies.

Kozlowski v. University of Louisville · filed 2023-08-25(e)(3)(A)

Plaintiff does not allege when he filed the EEOC complaint, what specific facts the EEOC complaint alleged, or that he ever received a letter informing him of his right to file a civil action (the “Right to Sue Letter”), and when he received the Right to Sue Letter.

Section 2000e-5’s administrative exhaustion requirement, as applied to ADA claims, is waivable.

Byfield v. New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) · filed 2023-12-05

Because the exhaustion requirement is not a jurisdictional requirement and is therefore waivable, see Francis v. City of New York, 235 F.3d 763, 768-69 (2d Cir. 2000) (stating that administrative exhaustion in the ADA context “is not a jurisdictional [prerequisite], but only a precondition to bringing [suit] ... that can be waived by the parties or the court”), the Court deems it to have been waived by Defendant and therefore not a basis upon which to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims.

Romero v. Altitude Sports & Entertainment, LLC · filed 2024-01-08(e)(1)

Generally, an EEOC charge must be filed within 180 days of an allegedly unlawful employment practice’s occurrence; if the claimant also instituted proceedings with an EEOC analog at the state or local government level, that timeliness deadline expands to 300 days. ...

Baker v. Board of Education of Lyons Elementary School District 103, County of Cook, State of Illinois · filed 2024-01-24(e)(1)

To the extent Upper Darby takes issue with Larkin’s receipt of the right-to-sue notice one business day after his request, any alleged failure to investigate falls on the EEOC.
