Mehdi v. Boyce (S.D.N.Y. 1996): Premature Employment Discrimination Claim

Representing himself and a class of unspecified American Muslims, a Muslim-American plaintiff petitioned the court to compel a radio station to include a Muslim panelist on its program regarding religion, under Title VII and other anti-discrimination laws. The Court denied the plaintiff’s request, concluding that he had failed to state a claim for which relief may be granted. Furthermore, the Court concluded that the plaintiff did not file an employment discrimination claim first with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is a requirement before a Title VII lawsuit can begin.
