J. Bloom approves a state commission’s motion to dismiss employment discrimination claim by a former employee who alleged he was harassed and fired due to a disability that made him fall asleep on the job. Because the former employee took no action for more than two years after initiating the case, he did not make a good faith effort to serve notice, as required.

J. Levy grants the dismissal of all claims brought against Westbrook, Maine, and several of its officials by a former employee they fired. The employee’s supervisor’s different treatment of the employee was not do to the employee being male, but the fact that the employee replaced the supervisor’s paramour, so it wasn’t discrimination on the basis of sex.

[Consolidated.] J. Joseph grants motions for judgment in this civil rights matter. The mother and sister of a 17-year-old boy who was killed by a former police officer were in the county protesting the district attorney’s decision not to prosecute the former police officer for the death. During what they claim was a peaceful protest, they allege they were forcibly removed from their vehicle and assaulted by police. In a separate complaint, a driver claims he was driving home from work when police rammed his vehicle with an armored vehicle and armed officers surrounded him. He argues his vehicle was unlawfully searched and he was arrested without probable cause. The complainants fail to identify anyone for whom fresh claims may be brought, and all other claims are duplicative, as they were already addressed in prior litigation.

J. Stearns partially denies a company and its CEO’s motion for summary judgment against their former national sales and business manager who is suing them for allegedly retaliating against her and violating the Massachusetts Wage Act. The manager engaged in protected conduct in Massachusetts and performed work she allegedly wasn’t paid for commissions earned in Massachusetts, so even though the company and its CEO are in Illinois and the manager is not a Massachusetts resident, she can bring a claim under the Massachusetts Wage Act.

J. Talwani denies in part an employer’s partial motion to dismiss claims brought against it by a former employee. While the employee fails to sufficiently allege that he was an employee under the terms of the Massachusetts Wage Act in August 2022, he sufficiently supports his claim related to a $100,000 non-discretionary bonus at this stage.
