Maryan Alexander (Partner-Baltimore, MD) prevailed on a summary judgment motion in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against plaintiffs who alleged housing and employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination and Employment Act, the Fair Housing Act and the District of Columbia Human Rights Act against our client property management company. The client provided housing to certain employees, including the plaintiffs, who are of Filipino descent. The lawsuit was initiated in 2018 when plaintiffs complained that the housing they were provided was inferior to that of their younger, American counterparts. The case has a long procedural history, having gone up on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals after a dispute arose over the plaintiffs trying to revoke a settlement agreement. After the case was remanded to the District of Columbia, Maryan successfully moved for summary judgment, arguing that the plaintiffs had failed to make a prima facie case. The court agreed and dismissed the claims.
