Case: Discrimination/Race Discrimination (E.D.N.C.)

A North Carolina federal district court denied the Town of Scotland Neck’s motion for judgment on the pleadings on claims of race discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 through 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Title VII retaliation, and wrongful discharge brought by a Black police officer who alleged he was denied promotion and terminated due to his race, finding that the police chief had final policymaking authority regarding promotion procedures, making the town potentially liable for his discriminatory actions.
