Claim Types
Outcome
The Fourth Circuit affirmed dismissal of both plaintiffs' complaints for failure to state plausible claims for national-origin discrimination under Title VII. The court found that plaintiffs failed to adequately allege that similarly situated non-Iraqi employees were treated more favorably, and did not allege facts supporting an inference that termination was based on national origin rather than legitimate policy violations.
