How courts have described this case

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

  • noting that courts can “explore the plaintiff’s prima facie case at the dismissal stage to determine whether the plaintiff can ever meet her initial burden” (cleaned up)
  • holding, on a motion to dismiss, that a letter of counseling after an in-office argument was not a materially adverse action when plaintiff failed to connect it to any tangible harm
  • granting Plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend because the parties had not yet begun to “conduct discovery” nor had the court “considered any dispositive motions”
  • non-prisoner plaintiff not entitled to benefits of mailbox rule because “courts have squarely restricted application of the mailbox rule to pro se prisoners” (citing cases)
  • “Courts in this jurisdiction have strictly construed the ninety-day statute of limitations in Title VII cases, even where the plaintiff is proceeding pro se” and “will dismiss a suit for missing the deadline by even one day.” (internal quotation marks and quotations omitted)
