Case: Discrimination/Hostile Work Environment (E.D.N.C.)

A North Carolina federal district court granted summary judgment to Penney Opco, LLC, d/b/a JC Penney on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act claims for sex discrimination, race discrimination, and hostile work environment by a Black female sales floor associate, ruling that she failed to exhaust administrative remedies for some claims and failed to provide evidence beyond her deposition testimony for her harassment claims, while JC Penney provided expert psychiatric evidence suggesting her allegations were symptoms of mental illness.
