Johnson v. Hondo, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that a slew of gay epithets could not sustain a claim of gender discrimination where there was no evidence that the plaintiff failed to conform to male stereotypes
• declining to remand even though district court incorrectly granted motion to dismiss because remand would be futile
• noting that when expressions such as \fuck me\ and \kiss my ass\ are used by men speaking to other men, often \their use has no connection whatsoever with the sexual acts to which they make reference -even when they are accompanied . . . with a crotch-grabbing gesture\
• affirming finding that comments “did not cross the line that separates the merely vulgar and mildly offensive from the deeply offensive and sexually harassing” (citation omitted) (internal quotation marks omitted)
• finding expressions such as, “fuck me,” “kiss my ass,” and “suck my dick,” are commonplace in certain circles and they have no connection with the sexual acts even when accompanied by “crotch-grabbing” gestures.
• besides Title VII sexual harassment claim, plaintiff alleged five state law causes of action, including assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress
