IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DIVISION

SHARON NOWDEN
I'

v.

PLAINTIFF
No.4:12-cv-83-DPM

JACOB RODGER, Administrator;
DEMETRIA GRAY, Human Resources;
and EMERITUS SENIOR LIVING

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Rodger and Gray move to dismiss Nowden's Title VII racediscrimination claim against them. Nowden has offered no response to the
motion; and her time to do so has passed. The motion, Document No. 18, is
granted. Rodger and Gray are not"employers" within the meaning of Title

VII.

42 U.S.C. § 2000e(b). Rodger is an administrator at Emeritus; and Gray

works in human resources. Emeritus itself was Nowden's employer for Title
VII purposes. Nowden's Title VII claim is therefore dismissed with prejudice
as to Rodger and Gray.
So Ordered.
