Outcome
The court granted OFA's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, finding that Adam failed to establish a valid contractual relationship (a necessary element of her Section 1981 discrimination and retaliation claims) because she was offered an unpaid volunteer internship with no consideration, and she failed to allege actionable adverse employment actions.
