Date Filed Document Text
August 9, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 9 (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no pdf document associated with this entry.) ORDER granting in part #3 Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim. Defendant is correct that the Title VII retaliation claim is out because it was not administratively exhausted. I do not read the Motion to Dismiss to request dismissal of the ACRA retaliation claim on exhaustion grounds. Defendant is correct that the allegations as currently pleaded are too conclusory to state a viable federal or state law claim of discrimination (including hostile-work-environment sexual harassment) or a viable state law retaliation claim. Instead of dismissing those claims at this time, however, I am going to give Plaintiff an opportunity to amend her complaint to add more specifics on those claims. Plaintiff should file an Amended complaint within 30 days of the date of this Order. If Plaintiff does not do so, I will dismiss the case. If Plaintiff does timely file an Amended Complaint, Defendant will then have 14 days to file a revised Motion to Dismiss. Signed by Judge Lee P. Rudofsky on 08/09/2021. (gvl)
