Snyder v. Maryland Department of Transportation, State Highway Administration et al Doc. 28 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND Civil Action No. CCB-21-930 LYNN E. SNYDER V. MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION,et al. MEMORANDUM Lynn E. Snyder brought the present action against her former employer, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration, and her former supervisors, Darion Branham and Daniel Houck (collectively, "the defendants"). Snyder alleges the defendants interfered with her statutory right to take medical leave, while also discriminating against her on account of her gender, disability, and age. In doing so, Snyder contends the defendants violated a host of federal and state anti-discrimination laws. Now pending before the court is Defendants' Motion to Dismiss, or in the Alternative, for Summary Judgment. (Defs.' Mem. Supp. Summ. J., ECF No. 12.) The issues have been fully briefed, with Snyder filing an Opposition (Pl.'s Mem. 0pp. Summ. J., ECF No. 21), and the defendants filing a Reply (Defs.' Reply Supp. Summ. J., ECF No. 27). The motion is ripe for disposition, and no hearing is necessary. Local Rule 105.6(D. Md.2021). For the reasons set forth below, the court will grant the defendants' Motion, which it construes as a motion for summary judgment.^ 'Snyder offers in several instances to amend her Complaint. As described more specifically in the relevant sections, an Amended Complaint with the facts Snyder proffers would still not permit her claims to survive summary judgment. Accordingly, Snyder's requests for leave to amend are denied. 1 Dockets.Justia.com
