Merithew v. City of Omaha

Summary

The court affirmed enforcement of the 300-day limitations period for discrete alleged retaliatory acts, rejecting Merithew's continuing-violation theory. It reversed summary judgment on the remaining timely allegations because genuine factual disputes existed concerning whether he suffered an adverse employment action, whether retaliation caused that action, and whether the City's stated reasons were pretextual. The court remanded for further proceedings without deciding the ultimate merits of the retaliation claim.
