Case: Individual Employment Rights/Contracts (W.D. Tenn.)

A Tennessee federal district court granted motions to dismiss claims brought by a male independent trucking owner-operator under 42 U.S.C. § 1985(2), § 1985(3), the equal protection clause, and the First Amendment against Schneider Logistics, Palogix Supply Chain Services, Epes Logistics Services, and Ford Motor Company, finding that filing a complaint is not “attending” or “testifying” in federal court under § 1985(2), the trucker failed to adequately allege discriminatory animus for § 1985(3), constitutional claims failed because the defendants weren’t state actors, and the court lacked jurisdiction over remaining state claims.
