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 plaintiff had failed to exhaust his administrative remedies where his EEOC charge alleged three specific instances of harassment by a supervisor and his federal complaint alleged long-term 9 harassment by colleagues
  • holding defendant entitled to judgment as a matter of law where plaintiff’s administrative charges referenced “different time frames, actors, and discriminatory conduct than the central factual allegations in his formal suit”
  • noting one of the primary goals of the exhaustion requirement is to “notif[y] the employer of the alleged discrimination”
  • isolated incidents complained of in administrative charge insufficient to support a hostile work environment claim
  • “We have generally dismissed any claims in which the plaintiff has not exhausted his administrative remedies before bringing suit.”
  • “[A] plaintiff’s claim generally will be barred if his charge alleges discrimination on one basis—such as race—and he introduces another basis in formal litigation—such as sex.”
