How courts have described this case

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

• holding that four national-origin comments made over the course of more than a year “were too infrequent” to render the plaintiff’s hostile work environment claim actionable
• stating that “[t]he continuing violation doctrine is applicable only if ‘it would have been unreasonable to expect the plaintiff to sue before the statute ran on the conduct’ ”
• explaining that the court will treat the series of continuing violations as one continuous act ending within the limitations period
• finding that a 4-month lapse was too long
• finding that four months negates causal inference
• rejecting argument that although plaintiff was allegedly “taunted with ethnic slurs from his supervisors and coworkers on almost a daily basis,” it was “only over time that [he] could have become aware that the name- calling was part of a discriminatory pattern”
