Fowlkes v. Ironworkers Local 40

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the failure to exhaust administrative remedies does not raise a jurisdictional bar
• explaining that, although an administrative complaint is a “precondition to suit”, it does not operate as a jurisdictional bar
• noting that pro se complaints must allege “‘enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face’” (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570)
• determining that a reviewing court can consider the complaint, documents attached to the complaint, documents incorporated by reference in the complaint, and public records when considering a motion to dismiss
• noting that even a pro se complaint must meet Twombly’s standard
• finding error where district court did not consider possibility that Title VII plaintiff had “equitable defense” to exhaustion argument based on futility
