Chinyere Ogbonna-McGruder v. Austin Peay State University, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 23-5557 · judgment January 30, 2024
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether Petitioner’s claim for retaliation required her to prove she suffered severe or pervasive conduct by her supervisor rather than conduct which would cause a reasonable employee to be dissuaded from filing or supporting a charge of retaliation against her employer. Whether the caption of Petitioner’s First Amended Complaint, along with paragraph 107 therein, provides adequate notice to Respondents for what they are being sued, and is therefore sufficient to survive Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss her claim of violation of her civil rights under color of state law. Whether the Petitioner’s failure to object to the magistrate’s denial of her motion to amend her complaint within 14 days of said ruling should have been excused in the interest of justice.
