Ortiz-Diaz v. HUD, No. 15-5008 (D.C. Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed suit against HUD, alleging discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq. The district court granted summary judgment to HUD. Under Circuit precedent the action complained of must be “materially adverse” to support a discrimination claim. In this case, the court affirmed the district court's finding that the denial of plaintiff's requests for lateral transfers on the basis of race and/or national origin was not cognizable under Title VII because it did not constitute an adverse employment action.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on August 11, 2017.
