How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- “The Fifth Circuit has clearly stated that the filing of an EEOC charge does not toll, interrupt, or suspend prescription with regard to a plaintiffs state law claims.”
- “termination of employment either through discharge or resignation is not a ‘continuing’ violation because the individual ceases to be an employee on the date of his discharge and all of his legal claims mature at the time”
- federal discrimination claims subject to 1 year prescriptive period
- “[T]he effect of [a voluntary dismissal] was to put the plaintiff in the same legal position in which he would have been had he never brought the first suit. The prescriptive period, therefore, is not tolled by the bringing of an action that is later voluntarily dismissed.”
