TOYOTA MOTOR MANUFACTURING KENTUCKY and KELLY SERVICES, Defendants. Civil Case No. 16-CV-105-JMH MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER *** Defendant has filed a Response to this Court’s July 28, 2016, Order requiring him to show cause [DE 30, 34] why Plaintiff’s claims for failure to hire, retaliation, and filing a false police report against Defendant Kelly Services should not be dismissed. Plaintiff raises no argument with respect to the dismissal of his claims for failure to hire or retaliation. With respect to his claim that Kelly Services, Inc., harmed him by filing a false police report, he posits that this Court has jurisdiction over the claim because he did raise this matter before the EEOC in his intake questionnaire, which he has now provided to the Court as an exhibit to his response. Nonetheless, such a claim – as a standalone matter – was not pursued through the process available to him via the EEOC and did not appear in the Notice of Charge of Discrimination. Perhaps this is because it would not qualify, alone, as the 1 Dockets.Justia.com basis of a Title VII discrimination claim suitable for investigation by the EEOC.

As the matter is presented to this Court, the undersigned is concerned only with whether Munion satisfied the administrative requirement of filing a charge which included it so that he might ask this Court for relief on that issue under Title VII. included in the Charge, and dismissal of It was not this claim is appropriate. For all of the reasons stated in the Court’s earlier order dismissing these claims against Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky [DE 30] and as stated above, Plaintiff’s claims for failure to hire, retaliation, and filing a false police report against Defendant Kelly Services are DISMISSED. IT IS SO ORDERED. This the 8th day of August, 2016. 2
