How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that \lack of knowledge of the filing deadlines” and \lack of representation” do not justify equitable tolling
- holding that \lack of knowledge of the filing deadlines\ does not justify equitable tolling
- holding that court could not exercise ancillary (now supplemental) jurisdiction over unexhausted retaliation claim when other Title VII claims were untimely or unexhausted and thus not properly before the court
- holding that, where age-discrimination claims had been dismissed as untimely and therefore “were not ‘properly’ before the district court,” bootstrapped retaliation claim likewise had to be dismissed, as it had “no charge on which to attach itself”
- holding equitable tolling of limitations within the Age Discrimination in Employment Act not warranted by plaintiff's unfamiliarity with legal process, his lack of representation, or his ignorance of his legal rights
- finding that petitioner’s “unfamiliarity with the legal process” and “ignorance of [his] legal rights” did not warrant equitable tolling
