ORDER
Before the Court is Defendant Secretary Ray Mabus’ Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings (Doc. 41) as to all remaining claims in this action. The Court finds that the Motion is now ripe for review.
PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND
I.
Procedural Background
Plaintiff Johnny Litman, a licensed attorney proceeding pro se, brought suit against
Ray Mabus, the Secretary of the Navy, and Josie Dristy, the director of the Navy’s Office of
Acquisition and Integrity (AIO), for claims of race, age, and disability discrimination and retaliation. Litman alleges that he was employed as an attorney for the United States Marine
Corps, within the U.S. Department of the Navy. On October 22, 2014, the Court dismissed
several of the claims raised in Litman’s Third Amended Complaint. (Doc. 30.) Litman appealed that Order to the Eleventh Circuit, but his appeal was dismissed as premature. (Doc.
40.) On April 27, 2015, the Court granted Defendant Dristy’s Motion to Dismiss the remaining claims against her. (Doc. 42.) The only claims remaining in this action are Litman’s
Count Three Title VII race-based hostile work environment claim against Mabus and Count
Four Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) claim against Mabus. (See Docs. 24;
30 at 10.)
Defendants Dristy and Mabus filed the now pending Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings on April 23, 2015. (Doc. 41.) On April 27, 2015, the Court noticed Litman of the
1
Motion and ordered him to respond. (Doc. 43.) Litman filed a response on May 18, 2015
(Doc. 44), and Mabus filed his reply on June 2, 2015 (Doc. 45). The Motion is now ripe for
review as to the remaining claims against Defendant Mabus and moot as to the claims
against Dristy since the Court has already dismissed all claims against her.
II.
Factual Background
Because Mabus’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings relies primarily on the argu-
ment that Litman failed to administratively exhaust his claims, the Court herein provides factual background, based on Litman’s Third Amended Complaint and EEO documents that
are central to his claims, as to the timeline of Litman’s allegations, his communications and
complaints with equal employment opportunity (EEO) counselors, and the EEO office’s
and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) processing of his complaints.
On July 12, 2012, Litman made a request for a meeting with an EEO counselor.
(Doc. 45-1 at 7.) On July 19, 2012, Litman met with an EEO counselor. (Id.) On October
18, 2012, Litman submitted his first formal EEO complaint (hereinafter “first EEO complaint”). (Id. at 1-6.) That complaint made allegations of race and age discrimination related
to: the AIO’s April 12, 2012 notice that Litman’s government contracting privileges had
been suspended; a May 7, 2012 widely-distributed memorandum from the AIO informing
the Acquisition Community at Large and Marine Corps Logistics Command employees that
Litman’s contracting privileges had been suspended; and a June 19, 2012 letter from the AIO
in response to Litman’s opposition to the suspension that Litman claimed to be “defamatory
and erroneous.” (Id. at 1-6.) On December 11, 2012, that complaint was dismissed by the
Deputy EEO Officer for the United States Marine Corps for the following reasons: (1) the
suspension of Litman’s contracting privileges was not an adverse employment action because his contracting privileges were not related to his employment as a civilian attorney with
the U.S. Marine Corps, and (2) Litman failed to meet with an EEO counselor within fortyfive days of the alleged incidents except for the June 19, 2012 letter from the AIO. (Id. at 1619.)
On December 7, 2012, Litman again requested to meet with an EEO counselor and
met with one on the same day. (Id. at 20.) At that meeting, during his final counseling interview, and in his subsequent second formal EEO complaint (hereinafter “second EEO com2
plaint”), dated March 20, 2013, Litman made allegations of race and age discrimination based
on the following incidents: (1) his nameplate was removed from his office door and (2) his
job responsibilities were changed. (Id. at 20-24, 28-30, 31-33.) On January 7, 2014, the Deputy EEO Officer for the United States Marine Corps issued a determination dismissing Litman’s second EEO complaint because Litman filed the above-styled civil action alleging the
same allegations on March 20, 2013, the same day he filed his second EEO complaint. (Id. at
25-27, 34 n. 1.) The EEO counselor’s report noted that Litman had mentioned a hostile
work environment claim in his final interview but had failed to include one in his formal
complaint. (Id. at 21.) Litman appealed this dismissal to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Office of Federal Operations. On May 29, 2014, the EEOC affirmed the dismissal. (Id. at 34-39.)
DISCUSSION
I.
Standard of Review
Motions for judgment on the pleadings are allowed by Federal Rule of Civil Proce-
dure 12(c) and are subject to the same standard of review as motions to dismiss filed under
Rule 12(b)(6). Horsley v. Feldt, 304 F.3d 1125, 1131 (11th Cir. 2002). The Court therefore
applies the following standard of review applied to Rule 12(b)(6) motions.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) permits a party to assert by motion the defense of failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. A motion to dismiss a
plaintiff’s complaint under Rule 12(b)(6) should not be granted unless the plaintiff fails to
plead enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible, and not merely just conceivable,
on its face. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). “Dismissal for failure to state
a claim is proper if the factual allegations are not ‘enough to raise a right to relief above the
speculative level.’” Edwards v. Prime, Inc., 602 F.3d 1276, 1291 (11th Cir. 2010) (quoting Rivell
v. Private Health Care Sys., Inc., 520 F.3d 1308, 1309 (11th Cir. 2008)). “Stated differently, the
factual allegations in the complaint must ‘possess enough heft’ to set forth ‘a plausible entitlement to relief.’” Edwards, 602 F.3d at 1291 (quoting Fin. Sec. Assurance, Inc. v. Stephens, Inc.,
500 F.3d 1276, 1282 (11th Cir. 2007)). However, the plaintiff need not allege all the elements
of proof of his claim in his complaint in order for the claim to survive a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss. See Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 510 (2002).
3
While the Court must conduct its analysis “accepting the allegations in the complaint
as true and construing them in the light most favorable to the Plaintiff,” Hill v. White, 321
F.3d 1334, 1335 (11th Cir. 2003), in evaluating the sufficiency of a plaintiff’s pleadings the
Court must “make reasonable inferences in Plaintiff’s favor, ‘but [is] not required to draw
Plaintiff’s inference.’” Sinaltrainal v. Coca-Cola Co., 578 F.3d 1252, 1260 (11th Cir. 2009)
(quoting Aldana v. Del Monte Fresh Produce, N.A., Inc., 416 F.3d 1242, 1248 (11th Cir. 2005)),
abrogated on other grounds by Mohamad v. Palestinian Auth., 132 S. Ct. 1702 (2012). The Supreme Court instructs that while on a motion to dismiss “a court must accept as true all of
the allegations contained in a complaint,” this principle “is inapplicable to legal conclusions,”
which “must be supported by factual allegations.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 679 (2009)
(citing Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555, for the proposition that courts “are not bound to accept as
true a legal conclusion couched as a factual allegation” in a complaint).
Here, Plaintiff Litman is proceeding pro se. The Court acknowledges that,
a pro se complaint, however inartfully pleaded, must be held to less stringent
standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers and can only be dismissed
for failure to state a claim if it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can
prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.
Hyland v. Kolhage, 158 F. App’x 194, 196 (11th Cir. 2005) (internal quotations and citations
omitted). However, the Court also recognizes that “even in the case of pro se litigants this leniency does not give a court license to serve as a de facto counsel for a party, . . . or to rewrite
an otherwise deficient pleading in order to sustain an action.” GJR Inv., Inc. v. Cnty. of Escambia, Fla., 132 F.3d 1359, 1369 (11th Cir. 1998) (citation omitted), overruled on other grounds
as recognized in Randall v. Scott, 610 F.3d 701, 709 (11th Cir. 2010). That is particularly true
here where Litman is a licensed attorney.
In summary, “[c]ourts show leniency to pro se litigants, however, pro se litigants are still
required to conform to the procedural rules, and the court is not required to rewrite deficient
pleadings.” Jacox v. Dep’t of Def., 291 F. App’x 318, 318 (11th Cir. 2008) (citing GJR Invs., 132
F.3d at 1369). “Where it appears that a more carefully drafted complaint might state a claim,
the district court should give a pro se plaintiff an opportunity to amend [his] complaint instead of dismissing it.” Schmitt v. U.S. Office of Pers. Mgmt., 403 F. App’x 460, 462 (11th Cir.
2010) (citing Bank v. Pitt, 928 F.2d 1108, 1112 (11th Cir. 1991) (per curiam)).
4
Finally, in reviewing a motion to dismiss or a motion for judgment on the pleadings,
a court “may consider only the complaint itself and any documents referred to in the complaint [that] are central to the claims.” Ball v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 1:12-cv-132, 2013
WL 5592496 at *2 (M.D. Ga. Oct. 10, 2013) (citing Brooks v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Fla.,
Inc., 116 F.3d 1364, 1369 (11th Cir. 1997) (per curiam)). However, “[d]ocuments that a defendant attaches to a motion to dismiss are considered part of the pleadings if they are referred to in the plaintiff's complaint and are central to her claim.” Id. (quoting Venture Assoc.
Corp. v. Zenith Data Sys. Corp., 987 F.2d 429, 431 (7th Cir. 1993)).
II.
Analysis
Mabus argues that neither of Litman’s remaining claims have been administratively
exhausted and should therefore be dismissed. Federal employees seeking redress in federal
court for employment discrimination must first seek relief in the agency that has discriminated against them. Brown v. Gen. Servs. Admin., 425 U.S. 820, 832-32 (1976); Crawford v. Babbitt,
186 F.3d 1322, 1326 (11th Cir. 1999). Therefore, failure to administratively exhaust is an appropriate ground upon which to base a motion to dismiss or a motion for judgment on the
pleadings. See Brown, 425 U.S. at 835.
In order to begin the exhaustion process, a federal employee must “initiate contact
with an equal employment opportunity counselor within 45 days of the date of the matter
alleged to be discriminatory.” 29 C.F.R. § 1614.105(a)(1). “The prerequisite of timely contact with an EEO counselor is not jurisdictional, and is subject to waiver, estoppel and equitable tolling.” Robinson v. Joajanns, 147 F. App’x 922, 924 (11th Cir. 2005) (citing 29 C.F.R. §
1614.604(c); Zipes v. Trans World Airlines, Inc., 455 U.S. 385, 393 (1982)). After initiating contact with an EEO counselor and participating in a final interview, an employee is issued a
notice of his right to file a formal complaint, which also must be done as a part of the exhaustion process. 29 C.F.R. § 1614.105(d). Equitable tolling applies “when the defendant
misleads [plaintiff] into allowing the statutory period to lapse, when [plaintiff] has no reasonable way of discovering the wrong perpetrated against [him], or when [plaintiff] files a technically defective pleading and in all other respects acts with the proper diligence which statutes of limitations were intended to insure.” Justice v. United States, 6 F.3d 1474, 1479 (11th
Cir.1993) (citations omitted).
5
A plaintiff has the initial burden of establishing that a federal court complaint was
timely filed and administratively exhausted, and if the defendant contests this issue, the
plaintiff has the burden of establishing that he met the timely filing and exhaustion requirements. Green v. Union Foundry Co., 281 F.3d 1229, 1233-34 (11th Cir. 2002).
The Court will consider documents related to the exhaustion of Litman’s claims
submitted by Mabus in support of his Motion because those documents are central to Litman’s claims. Ball, 1:12-cv-132, 2013 WL 5592496 at *2 (M.D. Ga. Oct. 10, 2013). The
Court notes that Mabus failed to file those documents with his Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings, although he makes reference to the documents in his brief in support. Mabus
corrected this error by filing the documents as exhibits to his reply brief. (Doc. 45.)
A. Exhaustion of Race-Based Hostile Work Environment Claim (Count
Three)
Mabus argues and the Deputy EEO Officer found that Litman did not initiate contact with an EEO counselor within forty-five days of some of the alleged discriminatory acts
and therefore failed to exhaust his claims as to those acts. (Docs. 41-1 at 5; 45-1 at 17.) Specifically, Mabus argues that Litman did not contact an EEO counselor within forty-five days
of the April 12, 2012 notice of suspension from contracting or the May 7, 2012 memorandum distributed widely to the Acquisition Community at Large and within the Marine Corps
Logistics Command because Litman did not initiate contact with an EEO counselor until
July 12, 2012.
The Court agrees and finds that Litman did not timely initiate EEO counseling as to
the April 12, 2012 and May 7, 2012 incidents. As to whether Litman has alleged any basis
for tolling the forty-five day requirement or finding that he otherwise satisfied the exhaustion requirement, the Court notes that Litman alleges that he requested an EEO counselor
“on or about June 2012” regarding his race-based discrimination claims. (Doc. 24 at 3.)
Litman alleges “there was much confusion” as to “who would handle the initial EEO complaint” and that he initially requested an EEO counselor in a letter to the Acquisition Integrity Office (AIO) opposing his contracting suspension (Doc. 24 at 12-13, 18.)
Mabus ad-
dresses this allegation in his briefing, arguing that any request for an EEO counselor from an
office other than an EEO office, such as the AIO, did not fulfill Litman’s obligation to initiate counseling timely. (Doc. 41-1 at 5 n. 2.) Mabus argues that Litman does not allege that
6
he believed the AIO was an EEO office or other facts to justify his failure to initiate counseling with an EEO office and that his failure to timely initiate counseling with the proper
office was particularly inexcusable because he is, in fact, an attorney. (Id.)
Filing a grievance or complaint with the incorrect office does not toll the forty-five
day period. Robinson, 147 F. App’x at 924 (holding that a plaintiff’s filing a discrimination
grievance with his union did not toll the 45-day period). Litman has not alleged that he was
misled into allowing the forty-five day period to lapse. Though he alleges that he “was told
that Navy would make the determination because the complaint was being filed against the
Washington, D.C.[-]located Navy Acquisition & Integrity Office,” Litman does not allege
that he was told to initiate counseling elsewhere. (Doc. 24 at 14.) Nor does Litman allege
that he had not earlier discovered the alleged wrongs perpetrated against him or that he is
entitled to equitable tolling for some other reason. The Court finds that Litman failed to initiate contact with an EEO counselor within forty-five days of the April 12, 2012 and May 7,
2012 incidents and has failed to allege any basis for tolling the forty-five day period. The
Court therefore finds that Litman’s allegations regarding those incidents, to the extent either
of them serve as a basis for his remaining race-based hostile work environment and age discrimination claims, have not been exhausted.
Litman also alleges that on June 19, 2012 he received a letter from the Department of
the Navy replying to his letter in opposition to the suspension notification. (Doc. 24 at 14.)
Litman alleges that this letter was “malicious, defamatory, discriminatory and wreckless slander” against Litman. (Id.) Litman made allegations in his first EEO complaint that this letter
“precipitated more humiliation and more defamatory and erroneous responses.” (Doc. 45-1
at 5.) Hostile work environment claims are claims for continuing violations “composed of a
series of separate acts that collectively constitute one ‘unlawful employment practice.’” Nat’l
R.R. Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101, 117 (2002). The Court finds that Litman’s timely
exhaustion of the June 19, 2012 letter allegation does not make his race-based hostile work
environment claim timely under a continuing violations theory. This case is similar to Elec.
Workers v. Robbins & Myers, Inc., 429 U.S. 229, 234 (1976), where “an employee asserted that
his complaint was timely filed because the date the alleged unlawful employment practice
occurred was the date after the conclusion of a grievance arbitration procedure, rather than
7
the earlier date of his discharge.” Andrews v. Atl. Marine, Inc., Civ.A. 03-0280, 2005 WL
2665345 at *3 (S.D. Ala. Oct. 18, 2005) (citing Elec. Workers, 429 U.S. at 234)). The Supreme
Court held that the date of the discharge was the operative date, not the date the grievance
procedure concluded. Here, the discrete, one-time employment events alleged by Litman
should have put him on notice that a cause of action had accrued. EEOC v. Joe’s Stone Crabs,
Inc., 296 F.3d 1265, 1272 (11th Cir. 2002). The June 19, 2012 letter was about the AIO’s basis for issuing the April 12, 2012 suspension notice. Here, the date of Litman’s suspension is
the operative date, not the date he received further explanation from the AIO in the course
of a grievance procedure, no matter how “defamatory and erroneous” he may have thought
that explanation was, because the June 19, 2012 letter and Litman’s continued suspension
were merely “present consequence[s] of a one-time violation” at the time they were exhausted. Id. Neither the June 19, 2012 discrete act nor Litman’s continued suspension “make
timely” acts that were not timely exhausted, and the June 19, 2012 letter cannot be an independent basis for Litman’s race-based hostile environment claim since it is essentially derivative of the April 12, 2012 suspension notice. Morgan, 536 U.S. at 112.
Further, Mabus argues that Litman failed to exhaust his race-based hostile work environment claim because it was not explicitly raised in either of his EEO complaints. (Doc. 411 at 5.) The Court finds that neither EEO complaint asserted a hostile work environment
claim but only discrete incidents that Litman believed to be discriminatory. Even if those
discrete incidents amount to a hostile work environment claim, the Court has already found
that first EEO complaint, which addressed only the suspension of Litman’s contracting privileges and related communications with the AIO, was not timely exhausted.
As to the second EEO complaint, Litman did not explicitly assert a hostile work environment claim but rather asserted several actions that he believed to be race-based discrimination against him, including: the removal of the nameplate on his office door and changes
in his job responsibilities. (Doc. 45-1 at 24, 29, 31.) In the second EEO complaint, Litman
did not mention the allegations later raised in his Third Amended Complaint regarding the
“whipping boy” comment, the incident involving Litman’s colleagues laughing at his mugshot, or the individuals’ calling Litman’s office and requesting to speak with a “white lawyer.” In its previous order, the Court held that all of Litman’s allegations in his Third
8
Amended Complaint, taken together and without information regarding their exhaustion,
stated a claim for hostile work environment (Doc. 30 at 7-8.)
However, the Court finds that Litman’s hostile work environment claim does not
“appear to have grown out of” the acts identified in his second EEO complaint that may
have been exhausted. 1 Rodriguez v. Sec’y of Dep’t of Veterans Aff., No. 14-13505, 2015 WL
3451757 at *1 (11th Cir. 2015) (holding that lawsuit allegations of “mocking” were not sufficiently related to the “discrete events including assignment of duties, performance evaluations, and compensation” plaintiff identified in her EEOC hostile work environment charge
such that the EEOC was on notice of the need to investigate that claim). The “whipping
boy” comment, the mugshot incident, and callers’ requesting a “white lawyer” are not sufficiently “like or related to” the reassignment of Litman’s duties or the removal of his nameplate to put the EEO office on notice of a hostile work environment claim such that Litman
can “piggy back” those incidents on the two incidents that may have been timely exhausted
in order to create an exhausted hostile work environment claim. Id. Further, the nameplate
removal and the change in job responsibilities alone are not sufficient to support a hostile
work environment claim, particularly without anything more than generalized allegations that
the incidents were based upon Litman’s race. Uppal v. Hosp. Corp. of Am., 482 F. App’x 394,
396 (11th Cir. 2012) (holding that a plaintiff’s disparate treatment and hostile work environment claims should be dismissed where she failed to allege facts to support that gender, race
or national origin played any role in the alleged adverse employment actions); Miller v. Kenworth of Dothan, Inc., 277 F.3d 1269, 1275 (11th Cir. 2002) (listing the elements of a prima facie hostile work environment claim, including that the harassment was based upon a protected characteristic).
The Court notes that it does not appear that Litman’s second EEO complaint was exhausted since his formal complaint, signed March 20, 2013, was submitted the same day the above-styled action was filed in this
Court, without Litman’s awaiting a final agency decision on the complaint. 29 C.F.R. § 1614.206 (“A complaint must be filed with the agency that allegedly discriminated against the complainant.”; § 1614.110 (“The
final decision shall contain notice of the right to appeal to the Commission . . . [and] notice of the right to file
a civil action in Federal district court . . . ); cf. Brown v. Snow, 440 F.3d 1259, 1262-64 (11th Cir. 2006) (holding
that a Title VII claim was unexhausted where a federal employee filed suit after appealing to the agency’s determination to the EEOC but before the 180 days the EEOC had to issue a decision had elapsed). However,
Mabus does not argue that the second EEO complaint was unexhausted. (See Doc. 41-1.) In an abundance of
caution, the Court will presume, without finding, for purposes of considering the pending Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings that the two incidents alleged in the second EEO complaint were exhausted.
1
9
For those reasons, the Court finds that Litman has not stated a race-based hostile
work environment claim upon which relief can be granted because he failed to administratively exhaust a number of the incidents underlying his claim and the alleged incidents that
may have been exhausted are not alone sufficient to support such a claim. Litman’s Count
Three Title VII race-based hostile work environment claim against Mabus is therefore
DISMISSED.
B. Exhaustion of ADEA Claim (Count Four)
Construing Litman’s Third Amended Complaint liberally, the Court finds that the
underlying allegedly discriminatory acts supporting Litman’s ADEA claim are essentially the
same as those already discussed with respect to his race-based hostile work environment
claim: the suspension of his contracting privileges and related communications with the
AIO, changes in Litman’s job duties, the nameplate incident, the “whipping boy” comment,
and individuals’ calling his office to ask for a “white lawyer.” (See generally Doc. 24.) The
Court has already found that all of these incidents were unexhausted except for the change
in Litman’s job duties and the nameplace incident, which were raised in Litman’s second
EEO complaint and which Mabus has not argued were unexhausted.
Also, in support of his ADEA claim, Litman alleges that a new younger attorney was
hired to take on Litman’s job duties. (Id. at 19.) Litman alleges that this new attorney was
promoted to Litman’s paygrade after only twelve months. (Id.) The Court found in its Order
on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss that Litman’s allegations regarding the younger attorney,
together with his other allegations, stated a claim for age discrimination. (Doc. 30 at 8-9.)
The Court, having reviewed Litman’s EEO complaints, finds that Litman did not raise any
allegations about the younger attorney in his administrative complaints. (Doc. 45-1 at 1-6,
10, 16, 22, 29, 31.) Excluding the allegations about the younger attorney because they were
unexhausted, the Court finds that Litman’s Third Amended Complaint alleges only a bare
assertion of age discrimination; without any allegations that a similarly situated younger attorney was treated differently or that age was the but-for cause of the alleged incidents, Litman’s Third Amended Complaint fails to state a claim for age discrimination. The Court further finds that Litman has not alleged that he was “hampered by the action of the agency”
and should be deemed to have complied with the exhaustion requirements as to the allega10
tions regarding the younger attorney. Brown v. Snow, 440 F.3d 1259, 1264 (11th Cir. 2006) (internal quotations and citations omitted). The Court therefore finds that Litman’s ADEA
claim has not been administratively exhausted and does not state a claim upon which relief
can be granted and is therefore properly DISMISSED.
CONCLUSION
The Court finds that Litman’s Count Three Title VII race-based hostile work environment and Count Four ADEA age discrimination claims against Mabus do not state
claims upon which relief can be granted because they were not administratively exhausted as
is required before a plaintiff can bring a federal lawsuit on such claims and the alleged incidents that may have been exhausted are not alone sufficient to support such claims. For that
reason, the Court GRANTS Defendant Mabus’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings
(Doc. 41). The only claims remaining in this action –Litman’s Count Three Title VII racebased hostile work environment claim and Count Four ADEA age discrimination claim
against Mabus– are DISMISSED.
SO ORDERED, this 11th day of September, 2015.
