J. Land finds in favor of the Army in an employment discrimination and retaliation action brought by the employee, a civilian Equal Employment Opportunity specialist, alleging that he was discriminated against based on his sex, age, disability and protected activity when he was denied a bigger office, passed over for promotions and not chosen to receive bonuses. The employee failed to show that a bigger office was necessary to accommodate his disability. The decision not to give him small bonuses was not a materially adverse action and the employee also failed to show that his complaints of discrimination caused him to be denied promotions.

J. Russell grants the hospital defendants' dismissal motion and dismisses the former employee's claims for defamation, tortious interference with a contract or business relationship, and tortious interference with a prospective economic business advantage. The former employee's defamation claim is based in part on a statement allegedly contained within a patient's medical record, specifically regarding an ordered dosage of morphine. It is not clear, however, if a third party would understand that the alleged statement referred to the employee "as the one who gave the verbal order." Even so, she fails to adequately plead special damages.

J. Bolden grants the employer's motion for summary judgment, ruling that while the security manager's supervisor asked him several times before his termination if he planned to retire, the manager's alcohol consumption at a company event gave the employer a legitimate reason to fire him. There is no evidence of pretext, as several of the comments were made years before the manager's termination, and he was replaced with someone in his protected age group.

J. Treadwell finds in favor of the employer in an employment retaliation action brought by the former employee. The employee alleged that she was either fired for reporting sexual harassment to human resources or for being seven months pregnant. The employee did not file her EEOC charge of discrimination until nearly seven years after she was fired. The reasons for the employee's termination were clear to her at a Department of Labor hearing which occurred one month after her firing and she is therefore not entitled to equitable tolling.

J. Adams grants the employer's motion for summary judgment, ruling the black employee's disparate impact claim fails as a matter of law because she cites no specific company policy that treated her and other non-white employees differently than white employees. Additionally, no evidence in the record or the employee's complaint supports her hostile work environment claim, which is based on a single instance of a coworker calling her a prostitute, which she admits was entirely unrelated to her race.

J. Sullivan grants Target its motion to dismiss discrimination claims brought by a former part-time “guest advocate.” The advocate, a Black woman, claims she was subject to ongoing harassment and stalking by another Black woman employee, who seemed interested in a sexual relationship with her. She also claims Target did little to stop the other employee’s behavior. However, because she does not claim that the conditions of her employment were adversely effected by the harassment and stalking, she fails to state a claim.

J. Sammartino declines to fully dismiss a Homeland Security field director's age and disability discrimination claims. Although the director's "designation of the Secretary in the caption as both 'an individual' and 'Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security,' is ambiguous as to the capacity in which he is being sued," the allegations in the complaint strongly suggest the Secretary was named in his official rather than individual capacity. In light of "favoring decisions on the merits over technicalities," the complaint is dismissed with prejudice against the Secretary in his individual capacity but can move forward against the Secretary in his official capacity.

J. Aiken grants the company's motion to declare that the former waitress is only entitled to her actual damages or a single $200 penalty under ORS 652.615 for her unlawful deduction claim, which alleges that the company unlawfully deducted more than 50% of the Workers’ Benefit Fund Assessment from her wages approximately 34 times. The case "Brinkman v. ABM Onsite Services—West, Inc." set the precedent that "plaintiffs 'are limited to a single $200 sum or actual damages' even if the allegedly improper deductions occurred multiple times over multiple pay periods."

J. Rubin grants the postmaster general his motion to dismiss allegations of race discrimination and retaliation brought by a former processing clerk. The clerk, a Black man, argues that coworkers and a supervisor harassed him multiple times, spitting in his coffee, punching his leg and saying things like “Donovan dick small.” He also claims he was fired after filing a claim with the EEOC. However, the clerk fails to indicate any racial bias in his claim for discrimination and was fired due to poor job performance during his probationary period.
