J. Kahn dismisses a health care provider and various union officials from an employment discrimination and wrongful termination complaint brought by a self-represented hospital employee, who alleges he was denied accommodations for an unspecified disability and was the target of a conspiracy to terminate his employment because he is a practicing Muslim. Many of his claims lack a private right of action or cannot be brought against private individuals, and he fails to list his union as a defendant or identify a disability he reportedly suffers from. The rest of his claims lack any substantive detail to survive dismissal. The court further orders him to prove service was made on the 10 remaining individual defendants or the remainder of his claims will be dismissed.

J. Dever grants in part a municipality and a litany of its employees’ motions to dismiss allegations of sex discrimination and ADA violations brought by a former police detective who also served on a county board of education. Most claims are dismissed for failure to state a claim, but a few survive. During his time on the board, the detective accused a male school employee of sexual harassment of two female employees, while he was allegedly involved in a sexual affair with someone else. The detective claims sex discrimination by his supervisor because he was calling out sexual harassment against two women. But his own conduct and his claims that the police department was disorganized and out of control are what led to his termination. Also, the detective has not plausibly argued that his anxiety and depression are disabilities that compromised his ability to work.

All claims are dismissed without prejudice except in the case of one employee, who did not identify a protected activity that led to his retaliation claim.

J. Campbell denies the metropolitan government's motion for summary judgment in this lawsuit brought by an employee in the fire department who asserts claims of sex discrimination and retaliation under Title VII, as well as age discrimination and retaliation under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, after she was allegedly not promoted to the fire marshal position.

J. Schmehl grants in part a tenured associate professor’s partial motion for summary judgment against Kutztown University in this case in which she alleges they improperly denied her request for a remote work accommodation in the fall of 2021 and in the semesters after. While the university’s desire to reopen in 2021 with strictly in-person instruction is understandable, its refusal to consider the professor’s incurable eye disease that puts her at a higher risk of contracting Covid-19 and enforce a blanket no-exceptions policy violated federal disability law.

Partida-Kipness finds in this interlocutory appeal that the lower court improperly denied the hospital's plea to the jurisdiction in this lawsuit alleging disability discrimination and retaliation.

Accordingly, the claims are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Reversed.

J. Suddaby rules on a motion for summary judgment and preserves a claim for discrimination based on disparate pay, plus two claims for retaliation against a Cornell University nonprofit. The litigant, a female safety officer, sufficiently alleges her employer paid herself and other women less than their male counterparts. She also adequately alleges the employer demoted her and delayed in paying her accrued leave payments, thus causing her to suffer a loss in Social Security benefits, because she filed a charge of discrimination with the EEOC.
