Biggs partially grants a health care system’s motion to dismiss allegations of age discrimination brought by a former system director of supply chain management after he claims he was passed up for promotions in favor of younger candidates. He also claims he was demoted at one point, then applied for his old position and was replaced. However, because the director did not file his discrimination claim with the EEOC within 180 days of it happening, the claim is time-barred. The director also argues equitable estoppel, meaning the system purposely caused him to miss a filing deadline because it withdrew the posting of his previous job prematurely, thereby violating the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. But, the director presents no evidence that the system removed the posting to deliberately or intentionally to prevent him from applying.
