How courts have described this case

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

• finding that “offensive and repugnant” statements by supervisors are not adverse employment action
• explaining that “the D.C. Circuit has repeatedly emphasized that casual or isolated manifestations of a discriminatory environment, such as a few ethnic or racial slurs” do not necessarily give rise to a hostile work environment claim
• rejecting DCHRA and Title VII claims on grounds that the plaintiff had insufficiently pled a causal link between his termination and his male gender
• considering “EEO complaint filed by the plaintiff and referenced at paragraph 118 in the Complaint” on motion to dismiss
• considering, when deciding motion to dismiss, EEO complaint filed by plaintiff and referenced in complaint, letter placing plaintiff on administrative leave with pay, and public arrest record
• dismissing race discrimination claim in part because plaintiff “failed to allege the most basic fact necessary to plead a claim under Title VII—namely, that he is a member of a protected class”
