Washington v. Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
HARRY T. EDWARDS, Chief Judge:
This ease involves the timeliness of a discrimination claim filed by Donald Washington against the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority(“WMATA”). Washington raises various arguments as to why this court should permit him to proceed on his claim, notwithstanding his failure to satisfy a clear filing requirement with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”). We find Washington’s contentions to be without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the District Court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of WMATA.
